Configuring for ssh communications in Zenoss 5

With the containerised world of Zenoss 5, if one is using COMMAND templates and modelers, where does one setup ssh keys The Zenoss 5 Admin Guide (Jan 2016) has not been updated for Zenoss 5.

In Zenoss 4 and earlier, typically ssh is run by the zenoss user so public keys are created on the Zenoss server, by the zenoss user and the keys go into the zenoss user's .ssh directory. The public key is then (manually) transferred from there to the target device that you want to access over ssh. The first time communication is successfully established, the known_hosts file in the zenoss user's .ssh directory is updated with the public key for the ssh server.

With Zenoss 5, where should these keys be Could someone provide a process for establishing ssh public-key communications

If one has a ZenPack that uses zenpython to do ssh communications, does that process need modifying

Cheers,

Jane

Jane,

If you haven't gotten an answer to this, it's a docs deficiency. Please file a bug if it's not rectified in 5.1.1 documentation already.
