Manage authentication keys using the Linux Backup Agent CLI

The authentication between the Backup Agent and the Backup Manager is based on RSA keys. When Backup Manager initially starts, it generates a new RSA public and private key. Note that the Backup Agent must have the public key to communicate with the Backup Manager.

The {{serverbackup-setup}} command allows you to manage keys for the Backup Manager using the following options:
* {{*\--get-key <url>*}}. The&nbsp;{{\--get-key <url>}} option retrieves a key from the Backup Manager. Make sure that&nbsp;the server where Backup Manager resides is accessible&nbsp;by&nbsp;the Backup Agent.
* {{*\--remove-key <name>*}}. Remove a key using the {{*\--remove-key <name>*}} option where {{{*}key{*}}}&nbsp;is the IP address or URL of your Backup Manager.
* {{*\--list-keys{*}}}. The {{*\--list-keys{*}}} option provides a list of&nbsp;all the installed keys.
* {{*\--stdin-key{*}}}. Use the {{*\--stdin-key{*}}} option to enter a key from {{{*}stdin{*}}}.
* {{*\--key-filename <name>*}}. The {{*\--key-filename <name>*}} option displays the name of&nbsp;the key file. This data is generated if no file name is specified.

* [Reset the public key]
