2.1 Create an SSH/RSA Key

To work with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure once the Oracle Data Transforms Compute Node is built, you have to provide a SSH Public Key to allow you to login to the node.

In order to build your SSH keys, perform the following steps:

1. In a terminal window, generate the SSH key using the following command:

   $ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair.

2. Enter the path to store this file. By default, this gets saved in your home directory under a hidden folder called .ssh. Change this default location, if required.

   Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/johndoe/.ssh/id_rsa): <Return>

3. Enter a passphrase using your key.

   Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <passphrase>

4. Re-enter the passphrase to confirm it.

   Enter same passphrase again: <passphrase>

5. Check the results.

   The key fingerprint (a colon separated series of two digit hexadecimal values) is displayed. Check if the path to the key is correct. In the above example, the path is /Users/johndoe/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. You have now created a public and private key pair.
