RSA security keys enable the domain and Qubole to communicate using SSH.
When you create a security key file on the domain and configure the Qubole cluster with the security key, Qubole cluster nodes accept traffic coming from the domain IP address.
Open a shell using Putty or another utility.
Use commands to generate an RSA key file.
Type the following command to generate RSA keys:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
In the prompt, enter a file path. Use the following template:
/Users/user_name/rsakey
Enter and confirm a password.
Make a note of the Key Fingerprint from the terminal output.
Navigate to the
rsakey
folder that you created in step 2b. Open the
rsakey.pub
file for editing.
Locate the public key beginning with
ssh
and copy the key.
Use the public key to populate the Customer Public SSH Key property in the Advanced properties screen of the Qubole cluster when you create the cluster. See the Security Setting section in
Create Qubole Clusters to Run Big Data Management Jobs.
Close the file and verify that the file permissions are set to be readable only by the account that you named in the key generation command.
