RHEV 3.2 need ability to add hypervisors without providing root password
Issue
- When adding a new hypervisor to RHEV 3.2 it is required that you supply the root password to setup the hypervisor. This is a security problem and these fields appear to be required. I have attempted to circumvent this by adding the engine's ssh pubkey to
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
on a new hypervisor and supplying a bogus password to the RHEV-M add host operation. This yields an authentication failure error. - How can I add hosts to RHEV without using a root password?
