In various tutorials throughout the history of LearnLinuxTV, we've discussed the importance of using public keys with OpenSSH. But what do you do when you're working with multiple clients? How do you manage the keys between them? In this video, we'll walk through an example scenario where we have three clients and need to manage multiple SSH keys for each one.

Note: It is recommended to watch the SSH configuration file video before watching this video: https://youtu.be/MWqfc_fegVg
