Resolution: Duplicate
> SSH keys overwritten for user running management server
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CLOUDSTACK-1335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1335
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
> Components: Management Server
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0
> Environment: Running the management server from source using:
> mvn -pl :cloud-client-ui jetty:run
> Running as a user other than "cloud"
> Reporter: Dave Cahill
> Assignee: Harikrishna Patnala
> Fix For: 4.2.0
>
>
> If the "ssh.privatekey" configuration entry is not present in the management server database (e.g. after a database redeploy), the user who is running the management server will have their *default* public / private keys (/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa and /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) deleted and overwritten with newly generated keys.
> Having your default SSH keys blown away is really bad (and unexpected) behaviour - any servers (e.g. GitHub) where you have your public key registered will become inaccessible to you.
> After discussion on-list [1], the preferred fix seems to be to have the management server use a non-default filename for these ssh keys,
> e.g. id_rsa.systemvm and id_rsa.pub.systemvm, to avoid damaging existing SSH keys
> There was also a suggestion to reuse the existing ssh key in developer mode; i.e. if id_rsa.systemvm exists on disk, write that to the db and use it instead of deleting and generating a new one.
