A Manual Procedure

Obtain the file that contains all the public keys that need to be revoked from ISSO/SA and save the file in /etc/ssh/ directory.
 
Edit the "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" file to allow "RevokedKeys" to point to the revoked key file obtained above.

Restart the SSH daemon:
# stopsrc -s sshd
# startsrc -s sshd
