Prepare
Follow these steps to generate an SSH Key Pari for the SD-WAN Edge instance:
Before You Begin
Before you begin provisioning Roving Edge Infrastructure resources, ensure you have the following:
- Credentials for an Oracle Cloud tenancy
- A compartment where you have permission to create and manage resources
- A computer, virtual machine, or an Oracle Linux 7/8 Instance in Roving Edge Infrastructure that has the following software and access to the internet.
- A utility to generate API signing keys.
- Most UNIX-like systems have
openssl
. You can also use Roving Edge Infrastructure to generate the API signing key and download the private key. Windows users can usegit-bash
. - A utility to generate SSH key pairs (most UNIX-like systems have
ssh-keygen
. Windows users can usePuTTYgen
. - A web browser.
See the Oracle SD-WAN Implementation Guide, to learn about the foundations of Oracle SD-WAN Edge configuration and deployment.
Generate an API Signing Key
To authenticate with Roving Edge Infrastructure, you must provide an RSA key in the privacy-enhanced mail format (PEM).
Upload the API Signing Key
- Sign in to the Roving Edge web console.
- In the Roving Edge Infrastructure web console, click User.
- In Profile, click your user account name.
- On the User Details page, click the API Keys link.
- To open the Add API Key Options window, click Add Public Key.
- Select the Paste Public Key option.
- Copy your public key value from the
~/.rover/rover-api-key-public.pem
file and paste it in thePUBLIC KEY
file. - Click Add.
Note:
The API fingerprint displays additional information such as OCID, Tenancy OCID, and region. Save this information to a secure notepad for later use.Generate an SSH Key Pair for the SD-WAN Edge Instance
SSH key pair will be used for secure access to the SD-WAN Edge instance.
Generate the key pair on your localhost
.
The public key created will be uploaded as part of the Terraform code when the SD-WAN instance is created.
Tip:
Make a note of the path.
