Which of the following commands preloads and manages existing SSH keys that are used for automatic authentication while logging in to order machines using

SSH?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: E

The command that preloads and manages existing SSH keys used for automatic authentication while logging in to other machines using SSH is ssh-agent. ssh-agent holds private keys used for public key authentication in memory, allowing them to be reused without having to enter the passphrase multiple times. This is instrumental in facilitating seamless authentication across different SSH sessions.

ssh-agent- commands preloads and manages existing SSH keys that are used for automatic authentication while logging in, it loads the key into memory i.e. if you have passphrase protecting a key instead of keep putting it in every time you try to connect to server, you only put it once and the ssh-agent will remember it for all subsequent logins

The question says preloads and manages. What does preload actually mean ? ssh -keygen - generates keys but does it manage the keys?, if so whats the purpose of having ssh-agent ? I would naturally choose ssh-agent with this question.

man: "ssh-agent is a program to hold private keys used for public key authentication (RSA, DSA). The idea is that ssh-agent is started in the beginning of an X-session or a login session, and all other windows or programs are started as clients to the ssh-agent program. Through use of environment variables the agent can be located and automatically used for authentication when logging in to other machines using ssh"
