Remove/Change SSH Keys from instance
Hi,
Quick question, using the API, how would a user remove an associated SSH
keys to an instance? What call should we use? Seems that you can't based
on the existing API calls.
Furthermore, how can we change the SSH Key? Is it the
resetSSHKeyForVirtualMachine call?
Thanks.

Depending on what you actually want to achieve, you could also register a bogus public key and reset to that one, knowing it will never really work.

Thanks for looking at it and testing it.
That answers the key replacement. Looks like there is no way to actually
removing the key from a created VM. I believe the only way left is the
deletion. The updateVM call won't update it either :S

"resetSSHKeyForVirtualMachine
Resets the SSH Key for virtual machine. The virtual machine must be in a "Stopped" state. [async]"
Apologies for causing you extra stress. We all had a long Monday.
I also never used this function before and here's how I tested.
- empty or move /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the VM prior to the operation
- in cloudmonkey
- stop virtualmachine id=XXX
- reset sshkeyforvirtualmachine keypair=newkey id=XXX
- start virtualmachine id=XXX
- after it came back I checked /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and .. lo & behold, the new key was there.
So, answer: yes, that's how to reset the SSH key and no, you can't remove it that way - it will check if the provided key name actually exists and you must provide one.

Yes what? That API call is not clear at all.
I guess a "try it yourself" is what you meant?
Thanks for your great help.

Look...I apologize for the sarcasm. I was a little bit irritated. I just
wanted to get some help.
I read the API documentation, I read the User guide. I just wanted to
same some time and ask on this list.
Thanks.
