Here are the basic steps of how to setup ssh keys for zenoss.

  1. Log into the zenoss server
  2. Open up docker container
  3. Change to zenoss user
  4. Generate ssh keys
  5. Upload ssh keys
  6. Exit out of container
  7. Commit container

Example:

[root@zenoss ~]# serviced service shell -s AddingSSHkey -i zope bash

[root@321feeg2253a /]# su zenoss
[zenoss@321feeg2253a /]$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/zenoss/.ssh/id_dsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/zenoss/.ssh/id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/zenoss/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
12:ab:14:d5:54:09:d3:1f:f7:12:21:ae:hd:16:a5:1b zenoss@321feeg2253a
The key's randomart image is:
+--[ DSA 2048]----+
|     =====F      |
|    S+== + AA    |
|  A=+=++  +      |
| AB= .. + =      |

Now try logging into the machine, with:   "ssh 'admin@192.168.1.10'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.

Upload ssh key to multiple servers automatically

Here is a quick script I created to automate copying a ssh key to multiple remote servers.

Basic command – the command uses sshpass to upload the ssh key to a remote server, this allows you to execute the command and not have to enter in a password to authenticate.

sshpass -p password ssh-copy-id -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no admin@remotehost

Script

#!/bin/bash

remotehosts="$1"
username="admin"
password="MyCoolPassword123"

for host in `cat ${remotehosts}`
do
sshpass -p${password} ssh-copy-id -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ${username}@${host}
echo "Uploaded key to " ${host}
done

echo "Finished!"

 

Using the script

  1. Download here.
  2. Make it executable 
    chmod +x sshcopy.sh
  3. Edit the script and change the username and password.
  4. Create a file that contains each host’s IP address or hostname.
  5. Run script (change hostlist.txt to your host list you created in step 3.) 
    ./sshcopy.sh hostlist.txt
  6. Wait for the script to finish.

Example:

wget www.incredigeek.com/home/downloads/SSHCopy/sshcopy.sh
chmod +x sshcopy.sh
sed -i s/admin/bob/g sshcopy.sh                      <-- Change username - you can just manually edit the file,
sed -i s/MyCoolPassword123/password/g sshcopy.sh     <-- Change password - it might be easier than using sed
echo "192.168.1.100" >> host.txt                     <-- Add 192.168.1.100 to the host list
echo "Bob" >> host.txt                               <-- Add hostname bob to host list
./sshcopy.sh host.txt                                <-- Upload ssh key to all host's in the host file i.e. "bob" and "192.168.1.100"
