I am not too worried about leaving the passphrase blank here because we are going to be working locally instead of over the internet. You can add a passphrase if you would like for added security, but then you will have to enter the passphrase each time you access your NAS. This setup allows you to access your Synology without using a password by using the SSH Key instead. Now you can log on to Synology using the SSH key instead of a password. To copy the SSH Key over to the Synology. Hit enter again to leave it in the default directory. Next, open Terminal on your local Mac, and type ssh-keygen -t rsa to generate new SSH keys using RSA encryption. This will log you back out of the Synology. Now return to the Control Panel and toggle ‘Enable SSH Service” back off and then back on again. Hit escape and then type :wq! to save and quit. In the config file, remove ‘#’ from lines: PubkeyAuthentication and AuthorizedKeysFile. On your Synology, type ssh address to connect to Synology via ssh. With a PC, you will need to use a service like Putty. Leave on Port 22 and click Apply.īack in the Control Panel, go to User -> Advanced and click Enable user home service. Under Advanced Mode, go to Terminal and SNMP and click Enable SSH Service. This will work with both MAC and PC (and linux of course).
SSH keys are a great way to securely login to your NAS without requiring password authentication! In this tutorial we are going to cover setting up SSH Keys on Synology NAS from DSM.
