Clarify that SSH keys must not have passphrases in docs
Reported by Jonathan Clarke | February 12th, 2011 @ 05:14 AM | in Rundeck 1.2
Hi,
Having just started out with RunDeck, I stumbled for a while into a confusing problem, which could be easily avoided by a simple message in the docs.
My SSH key (id_rsa) had a passphrase. When running commands via the web interface, I got a weird error message about groovy missing an Execution tag. When running via the CLI tools, I was told I needed a id_dsa key (not DSA not RSA)... The solution was simply to remove my passphrase.
May I suggest you add this in this chapter: http://rundeck.org/docs/RunDeck-Guide.html#configuring-remote-machi... ?
Thanks for the great work!

Hi -
I also faced quite the same problem. The manual claims that an RSA key is mandatory although it is a DSA one which is actually awaited. Here is the fail message which gave me a clue on what was going wrong:
Some steps in the workflow failed: [Step 1 failed: com.dtolabs.rundeck.core.tasks.net.SSHTaskBuilder$BuilderException: SSH Keyfile, /home/olecam/.ssh/id_dsa, does not exist and is needed: /home/olecam/.ssh/id_dsa]Hope that helps other new comers in rundeck as I. :)
Thanks and best regards,
Olivier

Docs should clarify default is DSA, and have no passphrase
