More information here: http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.0-i ncubating/html/Installation_Guide/using-sshkeys.html There is resetSSHKeyForVirtualMachine to update the ssh keys on the user VM, in case these were not provided during VM creation. -abhi On 08/02/13 5:18 AM, "Musayev, Ilya" <imusa...@webmd.net> wrote: >If memory serves me right: > >Initial setup: >1) You import you SSH public key into CS >2) when you import your template initially, you define what ssh keypair >to use for this template (this is done in 3.0.x 4.0.x via API call, I >don¹t know if it changed in 4.1 - ask on cloudstack-dev list) >3) the template must have an ssh-key pulling script (cant recall the full >name but its posted on wiki) that is ran when it starts up. > >How key gets there? >1) Once VM provisioned from the template, the guest vm contacts the >router VM and pull down the ssh public key and stores it into >/root/.ssh/authorized_keys file - it can do so as often you decide to run >it.
