How to add ssh keys to NetAPP Data Ontap for password less login

For this procedure i would recommend login via console or through the SP and then ‘system console’.

First, enter in advanced mode:

filer> priv set advanced

Now, unlock and set a password to diag account:

filer*> useradmin diaguser unlock
filer*> useradmin diaguser password

Enter in the systemshell, create the directory you need and put the pubkey generated in the authorized_keys file:

filer*> systemshell
login: diag
Password: the same you set in the previous step
filer% mkdir -p /mroot/etc/sshd/root/.ssh
filer% vi /mroot/etc/sshd/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
filer% sudo chown -R root:wheel /mroot/etc/sshd/root
filer% sudo chmod -R 0600 /mroot/etc/sshd/root

Then, exit systemshell, lock diag account and exit advanced mode:

filer% exit
filer*> useradmin diaguser lock
filer*> priv set admin
