/config/users/<user_name>/authentication/sshKeys//type¶
Use
Use to specify the public SSH key to use when accessing the F5® LineRate® system using SSH.
Note: In Amazon EC2, the default running-config will contain an “admin” user with an sshkey named “ec2” from the EC2 key pair used to launch the instance. Use this SSH key pair for initial SSH access to the F5® LineRate® instance. If you are not familiar with using SSH key pairs, see the [AWS documentation](htt p://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstances.html).
Data Key¶
The data key contains the type of key:
- ssh-rsa
- ssh-dsa
Note: When the default key is set to true, it means the object is set to its default. In this case, the system works as follows:
- On a PUT operation, the system ignores the data key. (Applicable only to /config nodes.)
- On a GET operation, the response only contains “default”: True and does not contain the data key.
- If the object has a base, it inherits its setting from its base.
See [Setting Objects to Their Default](https://docs.lineratesystems.com/087Rel ease_2.6/250REST_API_Reference_Guide/000Getting_Started_with_the_REST_API/300U nderstanding_the_REST_Hierarchy#Setting_Objects_to_Their_Default_(Default_Key) ).
Data Type¶
string
Default Data Value¶
“”
An object uses the default data value when one of the following is true:
- For objects without bases–When the object’s default key is true.
- For objects with bases–When the object’s default key is true, and when the default key is true for all of the object’s bases.
Default Allowed¶
False
