FlexDeploy utilizes SSH to connect to its configured Endpoints.  SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow it to authenticate the user.  FlexDeploy supports Password Authentication and Public-Private Key Authentication.

Starting with 4.5.2, FlexDeploy also supports using sudo user. At this point User Interface does not have separate entry for sudo user, next release will provide better user experience for sudo user setup. See Configure sudo user for Unix Endpoint.

It is typical to use the default file name and location to store the private key (which is in the .ssh subfolder of the user's home directory). You can optionally secure the private key file with a passphrase. It is an SSH requirement that the private key be readable only by its owner (e.g. oracle in the example above). So you must change the permissions accordingly (e.g. chmod 600 /home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa). You will receive an error at connection time similar to the following if you omit this step.

Permissions 0777 for '/home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa' are too open.

  • chmod -R 700 $HOME/.ssh
  • chmod 700 $HOME
