As mentioned above this push service uses SSH to make sure the connection is safe.
SSH requires a username and a generated key pair, one key is public and the other private, the following section covers the creation of these keys.
a) Create Username
Create a username, please remember that this will be unique for your user. The username (black arrow below) can be anything you like, but spaces, symbols and special characters should be avoided. Also keep in mind that this username should be unique. In the following example, the username is fmsintegration.
b) Create SSH Keys
The public part of the SSH key needs to be entered to connect to the MazeMap server (red arrow above). This key has to be created on the local computer.
...
3) Creating SSH Keys using PuTTY (Windows):
...
Download and install PuTTY from the official website (https://www.putty.org/ ).
...
Open PuTTYgen, which is part of the PuTTY installation package.
...
Select the desired key type as "Ed25519".
...
Enter "fmsintegration" in the "Key comment" field to specify the username.
...
Click on the "Generate" button to create the key pair.
...
Move your mouse cursor around the blank area of the PuTTYgen window to generate random data for key generation.
...
Once the key pair is generated, you can set a passphrase for the private key or leave it blank.
...
To retrieve the public key for sharing, select the entire content of the "Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file" section.
...
Copy the entire content of the public key file.
