SSH Keys
This page allows you to register SSH keys that are used to access newly created virtual systems. When a Xen instance, OpenVZ container, Solaris Zone or VServer is created, you can select if it's root login should be accessed via a password, or using one of the keys on this page. For EC2 instances, you must have at least one key registered before they can be created, as EC2 only allows access via SSH keys for new virtual systems.

To create a new key, click on the Add a new SSH key link above or below the table of existing keys. To edit the details of one that already exists, click on its name. To remove keys, check the boxes next to them and click the Delete Selected Keys button. You can only remove keys that are not being used to login to any managed systems though.


You can also add keys for which the public key data only is available to this list, for use as secondary keys for new systems. This is useful if you have an existing key (perhaps with a passphrase) that you would like to be able to login to all virtual systems.
