Client Application Can Access the Keys or Password

The client application must be able to access the public/private keys or password you created in JUNOS Login Account Has Public/Private Key Pair or Password and provide it when the NETCONF server prompts for it.

There are several methods for enabling the application to access the key or password:

• If public/private keys are used, the ssh-agent program runs on the computer where the client application runs, and handles the private key.

• When a user starts the application, the application prompts the user for the password and stores it temporarily in a secure manner.

• The password is stored in encrypted form in a secure local-disk location or in a secured database.
