phopper-pivotal commented 7 years ago

can docs be updated to indicate for user to not set a passphrase when running

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/bosh -C bosh

otherwise this error occurs

Hi - can you be more specific about which docs you're referring to? The docs I see in the repo do call out that a password-less SSH key is needed (example).

ok maybe change both links to be passphrase less. on sshkey-gen its a passphrase. with little sleep it does equate directly;

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again:

johnsonj commented 7 years ago

any idea on how to make a 1-liner that doesn't prompt for a password? it's problematic for sure

dpb587-pivotal commented 7 years ago

ssh-keygen accepts an empty -P (passphrase) option, so something like the following if you want to recommend it...

ssh-keygen -t rsa -P '' -C bosh -f ~/.ssh/bosh

evandbrown commented 7 years ago

I think -P is for the old passphrase. This should silence the whole thing: ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/bosh -C bosh -q -N ""

I'll update the doc...

phopper-pivotal commented 7 years ago

thank you @evandbrown @dpb587-pivotal

destroyed 2 environments last night thinking wth

finally got smart with sleep and set as ""

dpb587-pivotal commented 7 years ago

Interesting - I've always used -P, but you're right, -N is more correct. Thanks for updating the docs.
