Adding a Key for Automatic User Login#
To automate tasks such as backups from remote hosts, it may be necessary to allow for the SSH login on VOSS Automate by a user without a password.
This login requires the addition of a public SSH key for the user. The user addkey command is available to add a keyfile for a user. The command to run, is of the format:
user addkey <username> <keyfile>
Note that:
The user who runs this command, should have the
<keyfile>
available on their local directory. The public keyfile should therefore be copied to VOSS Automate.The user (
<username>
) for whom the key is to be added, should exist. If the user does not exist on VOSS Automate, a message shows to indicate this.
If the command is successful, the following message is shown:
User key added. You should try to ssh now
