Managing SSH Keys with the MCD

By default, the OpenShift 4 installer creates a single user named core (derived in spirit from CoreOS Container Linux) with optional SSH keys specified at install time.

This controller supports updating the SSH keys of user core via a MachineConfig object. The SSH keys are updated for all members of the MachineConfig pool specified in the MachineConfig, for example: all worker nodes.

Please note that RHCOS nodes will be annotated when accessed via SSH.

Unsupported Operations

  • The MCD will not add any new users.

  • The MCD will not delete the user core.

  • The MCD will not make any changes to any other User fields for user core other than sshAuthorizedKeys.

Info you will need

You will need the following information for the MachineConfig that will be used to update your SSHKeys.

  • machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: the MachineConfig that is updated will be applied to all nodes with the role specified here. For example: master or worker

  • sshAuthorizedKeys: you will need one or more public keys to be assigned to user core. Multiple SSH Keys should begin on different lines and each be preceded by -.

Creating SSH for a pool

In case your cluster has been installed without providing the ssh key for the core user at installation time (verify that 99-worker-ssh/99-master-ssh are missing, by checking oc get machineconfigs), you can easily create a MachineConfig that will ship the SSH keys to the nodes in a pool:

$ cat 99-worker-ssh.yaml
apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: MachineConfig
metadata:
  labels:
    machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker
  name: 99-worker-ssh
spec:
  config:
    ignition:
      version: 2.2.0
    passwd:
      users:
      - name: core
        sshAuthorizedKeys:
        - ssh-rsa ABC123....
        - ssh-ed25519 XYZ7890....

Then just create the file with oc:

$ oc create -f 99-worker-ssh.yaml

The MCO will take care of shipping the SSH keys to the nodes in the worker pool. The same procedure applies to any other pool in the cluster.

Updating SSH for workers

List all the machineconfigs currently in the cluster.

$ oc get machineconfigs

99-worker-ssh contains the current SSHAuthorizedKeys for worker pool.

$ oc get machineconfigs 99-worker-ssh -oyaml
apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: MachineConfig
metadata:
  labels:
    machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker
  name: 99-worker-ssh
spec:
  config:
    ignition:
      version: 2.2.0
    passwd:
      users:
      - name: core
        sshAuthorizedKeys:
        - ssh-rsa ABC123....
        - ssh-ed25519 XYZ7890....
        - ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2....

Export the 99-worker-ssh to edit the SSHAuthorizedKeys.

oc get machineconfigs 99-worker-ssh -oyaml > update-ssh-worker.yaml

Update the sshAuthorizedKeys for core user in update-ssh-worker.yaml.

# update-ssh-worker.yaml
apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1
kind: MachineConfig
metadata:
  labels:
    machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: worker
  name: 99-worker-ssh
spec:
  config:
    ignition:
      version: 2.2.0
    passwd:
      users:
      - name: core
        sshAuthorizedKeys:
        - ssh rsa ABC123....
        - ssh rsa XYZ7890....

Now with your MachineConfig yaml file (using the example above), apply the changes.

oc apply -f update-ssh-worker.yaml

You should see the new MachineConfig being generated by the controller to roll the changes:

$ oc get machineconfigs

You are then able to monitor the MCD logs of a worker or master (whichever the config applied to), which should check the proposed changes and reboot into the new config:

oc logs -f -n openshift-machine-config-operator machine-config-daemon-<hash>

If the update was succesfully applied, you should expect to see lines similar to in these logs:

I0111 19:59:07.360110    7993 update.go:258] SSH Keys reconcilable

After the node reboots, expect to see the daemons for the node specified restarted:

$ oc get pods -n openshift-machine-config-operator

machine-config-server-pzj68                  1/1       Running   0          1h

If we check the same daemon's logs, we should now see similar lines in the output:

$ oc logs -f -n openshift-machine-config-operator machine-config-daemon-<same-hash>

Common Pitfalls

  • Updating user: name: Do not update the user: name field. The only user currently supported is core as shown in the above example config.
