This document describes how to delete a Secure Shell (SSH) public key applicable for the local Operation and Maintenance (O&M) user account. O&M users are allowed to create, change, and delete their own SSH key.

1.1   Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

1.1.1   Conditions

The following conditions must apply:

• The user is familiar with the security policy of the organization.
• The public key to delete is known.
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

To delete the SSH public key:

   >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,SecM=1,UserManagement=1,LocalAuthenticationMethod=1,UserAccountM=1,UserAccount=joedoe

2. Enter Config mode:

   (UserAccount=joedoe)>configure

3. Delete the SshPublicKey Managed Object, for example:

   (config-UserAccout=joedoe)>no SshPublicKey=1

4. Commit the deletion:

   (config-UserAccount=joedoe)>commit

5. Verify the deletion, for example:

   (UserAccount=joedoe)>show SshPublicKey=1

   The following is an example output:

   ERROR: Specific element not found

   Note:  

   If the password has been previously removed, it is recommended that the user password is set, refer to Reset Password for User Account.
