Creating root and vertica_dba Accounts
root
and vertica_dba
accounts must have their own RSA or Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) keysets.
Note
This requirement is necessary only if the local security policy has configured SSH StrictHostKeyChecking
to yes
.
-
The
vertica_dba
public key(s) must be in the/var/db/vertica/.ssh/authorized_keys
file on all Analytics nodes. Create them if they don't exist. -
The
root
public key(s) must be in the/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
and/var/db/vertica/.ssh/authorized_keys
files on all Analytics nodes. Create them if they don't exist. -
All
root
accounts on the Analytics nodes may have different keysets, depending on local security policy. In this case, public keys from the root account on all Analytics nodes need to be added to bothauthorized_keys
files noted above.
