Enabling Elliptic Curve Host Keys

To enable ECDSA host-key algorithms for Tectia Server, do the following:

  1. Go to Connections and Encryption and select the Parameters tab. In the Encryption section's Hostkey Algorithms list, select ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384 and ecdsa-sha2-nistp521. The algorithms will be highlighted blue when enabled.

  2. Click Apply.

  3. For immediate effect, stop and start Tectia Server.

[Note]Note

To enable ECDSA keys for X.509, repeat the process above but select the algorithms named x509v3-ecdsa-sha2-*.
