I have a single Zenoss server testing comms with one RedHat server, andI cannot get SSH authentication working.

I set up my keys without a passphrase. I set up the pub and priv keys, deployed them and I can SSH from my Zenoss box to my RedHat box using the cert instead of an ID/PW.

Despite that when I model the device it tells me "SSH authentication failed - no password or public key specified"

I have tried setting zKeyPath to:

~/.ssh/id_rsa

/home/centos/id_rsa

/home/root/id_rsa

There is no zenoss user when you log into the zenoss host.

Where is Zenoss looking for the cert The docs do not have this information.
