OCK Image User

Describes the ocne user set up in the OCK image, and how to configure it.

To interact directly with a node, use its console. For information on connecting to a node's console, see Accessing a Node's OS Console.

If a node fails and its console is inaccessible, you can SSH into the node as the ocne user. The ocne user is predefined in the OCK image.

By default, the ocne user authenticates with the cluster nodes through SSH using an RSA public key in $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. To authenticate using a different method, configure one of the following options in either the CLI defaults configuration file, or a cluster configuration file:

  • password

  • sshPublicKey

  • sshPublicKeyPath

For information about these configuration file options, see Cluster Configuration Files and Oracle Cloud Native Environment: CLI.
