      A user can now manage their SSH public keys that are on the OpenShift server. You are now able to create and upload new keys, and remove existing keys. The SSH keys wizard is available through the context menu of OpenShift Explorer and when he's creating or importing an OpenShift application. The page dedicated to the git clone settings holds a link to the SSH preferences and the SSH keys wizard.

    • Documented as Feature Request

      Initially OpenShift was only able to handle a single unique SSH (rsa) key. A user also had to provide his key when creating the domain.
      Things evolved a lot since then. The current OpenShift release supports

      • multiple keys
      • rsa and dsa keys
      • keys are not required when creating a domain

      Our tooling still offers what we implemented when OpenShift required one to provide his single key when creating the domain. We require the user to create/provide his key when he wants to create his domain.

      Furthermore we also force the key-name to libra_id_rsa. We did that to avoid conflicts with the config (<home>/.ssh/config) that the rhc CLI tools create.
