Connect to the FluidFS Cluster CLI Using SSH Key Authentication
You can grant trust to a specic machine and user by performing an SSH key exchange.
1. Generate an RSA SSH key.
NOTE: The following example uses the ssh-keygen utility. The steps to generate an RSA SSH key can vary by
operating system. See the documentation for the respective operating system for more information.
a. Log on to a UNIX/Linux workstation for which you want to use SSH key authentication.
b. From the command line, type the following command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
c. Press Enter at the Enter le in which to save the key (/home/<user_name>/.ssh/id_rsa) prompt.
d. Press Enter at the Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase) prompt and again at the Enter same passphrase again
prompt. An SSH key is generated at /home/<user_name>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
2. Copy the SSH key to your clipboard.
3. Log on to the FluidFS cluster CLI through SSH using a password.
4. Type the following command, pasting in the copied SSH key:
system administrators passwordless-access add-ssh-keys Administrator add-ssh-keys
<SSH_key>
Now you can use the following command to log on to the FluidFS cluster from the workstation without needing a password:
ssh <FluidFS_administrator_user_name>@<client_VIP_or_name>
You can also use the following format to run commands from the workstation without needing a password:
ssh <FluidFS_administrator_user_name>@<client_VIP_or_name> <CLI_command>
