| <h3>How do I generate public and private keys from Windows?</h3> |
| <p>First you need to have access to a terminal or shell on your machine. For windows, you will need to use a terminal emulator. For more details, see <a href="005.html">What is Cygwin?</a></p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the terminal.</li> |
| <li>Type <code>pwd</code> to verify that you are in your home directory.</li> |
| <li>Type <code>ssh-keygen -d</code> to generate your public key file set.</li> |
| <li>When your machine is done working, it will prompt you for a file in which to save the key. Accept the default and <a href="015.html">note where it lives</a>. Your system must provide a path to this location during each login.</li> |
| <li>You will be asked for a passphrase, and you must enter it twice to avoid typos. You will use this passphrase each time you open a tunnel (or connection) to OpenOffice.org.</li> |
| <li>Next you must <a href="009.html">submit your public key</a>, then wait for the support team to load it before you can proceed.</li> |
| </ol> |
