Accepting Certificates in a script during SSH connect

[PRZ]

I was wondering if it is possible to have the host certificate automatically accepted when opening an SSH connection with a script. I realize that if I save the certificate on first connection I am not asked to accept it again, but the volume of devices I am dealing with and the need for the script to be portable make any sort of manual process impossible...

Thanks

Hi PRZ,

As long as you understand the security implications ...

You would add the /ACCEPTHOSTKEYS option to your connection string.

Also see the SecureCRT help topic Using the Software / Command-Line Options / Table of Protocol-Specific Command-Line Options.

Thanks! I was reading the scripting guides, which didn't mention all the connection options. And yes, I am aware of the implications - doom should be minimal.
