Generating an SSH key

The MNX.io services use SSH key pairs for authentication. If you have an existing SSH key pair, you must upload the public key in the MNX.io portal to associate it with your account.

If you don’t have an SSH key pair, you can create SSH keys and then associate them with your MNX.io account.
