-Title: OpenSSH 7.0 disables ssh-dss keys by default |

-Starting with the 7.0 release of OpenSSH, support for ssh-dss keys has |
| 30 |
-been disabled by default at runtime due to their inherit weakness. If |
| 31 |
-you rely on these key types, you will have to take corrective action or |
| 32 |
-risk being locked out. |
| 33 |
- |
| 34 |
-Your best option is to generate new keys using strong algos such as rsa |
| 35 |
-or ecdsa or ed25519. RSA keys will give you the greatest portability |
| 36 |
-with other clients/servers while ed25519 will get you the best security |
| 37 |
-with OpenSSH (but requires recent versions of client & server). |
| 38 |
- |
| 39 |
-If you are stuck with DSA keys, you can re-enable support locally by |
| 40 |
-updating your sshd_config and ~/.ssh/config files with lines like so: |
| 41 |
- PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-dss |
| 42 |
- |
| 43 |
-Be aware though that eventually OpenSSH will drop support for DSA keys |
| 44 |
-entirely, so this is only a stop gap solution. |
