Accessing remote linux machine from MacOS with key

Image
There is a scenario where I have to access a remote linux machine via MacOS. Login mechanism is allowed though key and not a password. I have provided a PPK file which I can use for authentication purpose. PPK File Not Supported by MacOS The PPK file is not directly supported by MacOS terminal, rather we need a PEM(.pem) file for authentication. So first we need to convert this *.ppk file to *.pem file then after the same will be used for authentication purpose. We need to install  PuTTYgen (windows)  first. Normally it comes with installer of PuTTY but if not installed, check this link-   PuTTYgen Converting  a .ppk file to a .pem file Start PuTTYgen.

Only single installer is required for jDeveloper/SOA/Weblogic and is available as QuickStart Installer(download available at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html). Approach 1- Compress(Zip) SOA composite code of 11g version (11.1.1.7.0) and unzip to a differe
