Configuring RSA public and private keys for SSH connections in
a cluster
About this task
After nodes are added to a cluster, you must configure the RSA public and private keys to enable
internode SSH communications.
Use this procedure to configure the RSA public and private keys on the initial node for the entire
cluster.
Before you begin
Install all of the required nodes for the cluster.
Procedure
1. Log in to the Linux shell on the initial node by using the Linux administrator account
credentials.
2. Run the Avaya Aura
®
Web Gateway configuration utility using the
app configure
command.
3. Navigate to
Clustering Configuration
>
Cluster Utilities
>
Configure SSH RSA Public/
Private Keys
.
The system displays the RSA Public and Private key configuration tool.
4. When the system displays the
Add additional hosts to the list? (y/n)
prompt, enter
y
(yes) if you are generating keys for the first time or if you need to generate
keys for a new node in the cluster.
Otherwise, enter
n
(no).
5. If you chose to update the node list in the previous step, when the system prompts you,
enter the IP address of the non-seed node in the cluster you want to generate keys for and
then press
Enter
.
6. Repeat the previous step for all remaining non-seed nodes.
7. When the system prompts you to enter a user name for a node, enter the username for the
Linux administrator account that you used to perform the installation.
8. If the system prompts you to replace the existing keys, enter
y
(yes).
9. If the system displays the following error, type
yes
and then press
Enter
:
The authenticity of the host can't be established.
10. When the system prompts you to enter a password, enter the password for the Linux
administrator account that you used to perform the installation.
11. When the configuration is complete, press
Enter
.
