|
= Generating an SSH private key and adding it to the agent
|
|
|
|
For production {product-title} clusters on which you want to perform installation
|
|
debugging or disaster recovery, you must provide an SSH key that your `ssh-agent`
|
|
process uses to the installer.
|
|
|
|
You can use this key to SSH into the master nodes as the user `core`. When you
|
|
deploy the cluster, the key is added to the `core` user's
|
|
`~/.ssh/authorized_keys` list.
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
You must use a local key, not one that you configured with platform-specific
|
|
approaches such as
|
|
link:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html[AWS key pairs].
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. If you do not have an SSH key that is configured for password-less authentication
|
|
on your computer, create one.
|
|
For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the
|
|
following command:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -N '' \
|
|
-f <path>/<file_name> <1>
|
|
----
|
|
<1> Specify the path and file name, such as `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, of the SSH key.
|
|
+
|
|
Running this command generates an SSH key that does not require a password in
|
|
the location that you specified.
|
|
|
|
. Start the `ssh-agent` process as a background task:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
|
|
|
|
Agent pid 31874
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Add your SSH private key to the `ssh-agent`:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ ssh-add <path>/<file_name> <1>
|
|
|
|
Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>)
|
|
----
|
|
<1> Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as `~/.ssh/id_rsa`
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Next steps
|
|
|
|
When you install {product-title}, provide the SSH public key to the installer.
|
|
If you install a cluster on infrastructure that you provision, you must provide
|
|
this key to your cluster's machines.
