Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on KARAF-1505:
---------------------------------------------

We already added:

{code}
  -k [keyFile]    specify the private keyFile location when using key login, need have BouncyCastle registered as security provider using this flag
{code}

However, a default location (like .karafssh/id_dsa) is good idea.

> bin/client and ssh:ssh by default use a fixed private key that is deployed in the karaf.ssh jar. To use public key auth in a secure way this key needs to be exchanged by the user.
> We should have a default location for a private key file that is used instead of the built in private key if it exists. Additionally the -i option should allow to specify a path to an alternative private key file.
> The default location for the privat key should be ~/.sshkaraf/id_dsa and etc/id_dsa
