Sharing key pair access credentials

When you add a key pair to Lumen® Edge Service Manager for a specific project, sharing these access credentials with team members supports working together in the same virtual space.

  • share name
  • share private key
  • share public key
  • share passphrase (if needed)

When the user-as-a-team-entity is sharing their key, replace the standard SSH command with an ssh-copy-id.

 

ssh-copy-id [user]@[ip]

 

This command places the public key onto the machine at:

 

~/.ssh/authorized_keys

 

Using this command, when an SSH request accesses the bare metal instance, the user doesn't have to supply a password because it recognizes the user’s machine from the public key.
