This article will illustrate the process of adding an existing SSH key to WHM for accessing your account through SSH. You will need root privileges for this.

Login to WHM and go to Home > Security Center > Manage Root’s SSH Keys

Then follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Click on the Import Key

2. Enter some Name for this key in the first field

3. Paste the public key in the corresponding field

You will also find fields for Password and Private Key which are not required.

The next step is to authorize this key for the root user. In order to do this, go back to this option – Manage root’s SSH keys and then click on the Manage Authorization option.
