Change Host Keys Used by SSH Connections

Host keys used by SSH connections have been changed from DSA to RSA. Automatic file transfer set-up dependent on remote host keys are now likely to break and users may encounter error messages. Manually change these keys by following the following instructions for either Unix or Windows.

Unix host key change instructions

Run this command, replacing HOSTNAME with the name of the host you are connecting to: ssh-keygen -R HOSTNAME This will remove the old key entry for HOSTNAME from your ${HOME}/.ssh/known_hosts file.
Add the new key to your known hosts with the command: ssh HOSTNAME
You should be prompted to add the key to your known_hosts file, as shown below. Save the new key by typing: yes
Your host key will now be up to date.

Windows host key change instructions

Windows users need to add the RSA key to the cache and/or accept and save the host key change.

Depending on your client you may need to click either Accept and Save or Yes, as shown in the images below:

Bitvise

Bitvise click Accept and Save

Putty

Putty click Yes

SSH Secure Shell

SSH Secure Shell click Yes
