<ul><li>Managing SSH authentication keys for multiple servers is challenging and risky.</li><li>A Bash script can be used to streamline, secure, and manage the SSH key pairs.</li><li>The SSH config file ( .ssh/config ) contains key parameters to manage various SSH connections.</li><li>The config file can be organized and simplified by using include files.</li><li>The Bash script generates unique key pairs, creates a config file for each server, and ensures they link back to the main config file.</li><li>The script creates a directory to store the SSH key pair and configuration file, sets file permissions, and generates SSH key pairs using ed25519 algorithm, with no passphrase.</li><li>A config file for the new login is created and stored in the same directory as the SSH keys.</li><li>Linking the server’s address and username into a single alias simplifies connecting to servers.</li><li>The script also tests the login and logs out the remote server at the end of the script.</li><li>The script enhances SSH key security while making it easier to generate keys and keep them well-organized.</li></ul>
