• For the –i option, the parameter must be svcacct. All other parameters for -i fail in CMC. The
svcacct is a special account for public key authentication over SSH in CMC.
• To log in to the CMC, the user must be service. Users of the other categories do have access to the
public keys entered using the sshpkauth command.
Viewing Public Keys
To view the public keys that you have added to the CMC, type:
racadm sshpkauth –i svcacct –k all –v
To view one key at a time, replace all with a number from 1 – 6. For example, to view key 2, type:
racadm sshpkauth –i svcacct –k 2 –v
Adding Public Keys
To add a public key to the CMC using the file upload -f option, at the commond line interface console,
enter:
racadm sshpkauth –i svcacct –k 1 –p 0xfff –f <public key file>
NOTE: You can use only the file upload option with remote RACADM. For more information, see
Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
To add a public key using the text upload option, enter:
racadm sshpkauth –i svcacct –k 1 –p 0xfff –t “<public key text>”
Deleting Public Keys
To delete a public key, run the following command:
racadm sshpkauth –i svcacct –k 1 –d
To delete all public keys, run the following command:
racadm sshpkauth –i svcacct –k all –d
