Abstract
A SSH (secure shell) public key is received from a client device 120 120 on the enterprise network, and an EMS device 140 is queried based on the SSH public key. Responsive to confirmation of registration from the EMS server, an authentication certificate based on a user and the client device 120 120 is generated. An SSH session is initiated on behalf of the client device 120 120 including submitting the certificate and the SSH public key from the client device 120 120 to the external server.
