Module RHC::SSHKeyHelpers
In: lib/rhc/ssh_key_helpers.rb

Methods

Public Instance methods

Public: Format SSH key‘s core attributes (name, type, fingerprint) in a given ERB template

key - an object to be formatted template - ERB template

Public: Generate an SSH key and store it in ~/.ssh/id_rsa

type - The String type RSA or DSS. bits - The Integer value for number of bits. comment - The String comment for the key

Examples

 generate_ssh_key_ruby()
 # => /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Returns nil on failure or public key location as a String on success

for an SSH public key specified by ‘key’, return a triple [type, content, comment] which is basically the space-separated list of the SSH public key content

For Net::SSH versions (< 2.0.11) that does not have Net::SSH::KeyFactory.load_public_key, we drop to shell to get the key‘s fingerprint
