Make sure that there is no password associated with the keys. If there is a password, then the Black Box devices will
have no way to supply it as runtime.

keygen
15.6.3 Installing the SSH Public/Private Keys (Clustering)
For Black Box
console server
s, the keys can be simply uploaded through the web interface, on the
System:
Administration
page. This enables you to upload stored RSA or DSA Public Key pairs to the Master and apply the
Authorized key to the slave and is described in Chapter 4. Once complete, you then proceed to Fingerprinting as
described below.
15.6.4 Installing SSH Public Key Authentication (Linux)
Alternately, the public key can be installed on the unit remotely from the linux host with the
scp
utility as follows.
Assuming the user on the Management Console is called "fred"; the IP address of the
console server
is 192.168.0.1
(default); and the public key is on the
linux/unix
computer in
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
. Execute the following command on the
linux/unix
computer:
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub \
[email protected]:/etc/config/users/fred/.ssh/authorized_keys
The authorized_keys file on the
console server
needs to be owned by "fred", so login to the Management Console as
root
and type:
chown fred /etc/config/users/fred/.ssh/authorized_keys
