Create a New SSH Key
Use the following procedure to create an SSH Key that you can use to gain access to running Servers.
Prerequisites
- 'actor' user role privileges in the RightScale account
- SSH is required to run RightScripts (prior to RightLink enabled images, which are RightImages prior to v5), so setting up your SSH key can be very important.
Steps
- Go to Clouds > CloudName > SSH Keys
- Click the New action button
- Provide a Name for your SSH Key
- Click the Create action button when ready
The SSH Key is created and stored in the database.
Note:
You can edit the SSH Key and copy in new
private key data in the future. For example, you can generate your own SSH Keys and manually copy the private key into the SSH Key you created from within the Dashboard above.
