Accessing a FreeIPA cluster via SSH
If you plan to access a FreeIPA cluster (for example for troubleshooting purposes) via a command line client, SSH into the master node.
SSH to a FreeIPA node as cloudbreak user
Required role: No CDP role is required
CDP administrators can access FeeeIPA cluster nodes as cloudbreak
user with
the SSH key provided during cluster creation.
On Mac OS, you can use the following syntax to SSH to the VM::
ssh -i "privatekey.pem" cloudbreak@publicIP
For example:
ssh -i "testkey-kp.pem" cloudbreak@90.101.0.132
On Windows, you can access your cluster via SSH by using an SSH client such as PuTTY. For more information, refer to How to use PuTTY on Windows.
SSH to a FreeIPA node as your own CDP user
Required role: EnvironmentUser, Data Steward, or EnvironmentAdmin
A user who have the required CDP role assigned to them can SSH to FreeIPA cluster nodes as themselves.
On Mac OS, you can use the following syntax to SSH to the VM::
ssh -i "privatekey.pem" cdpusername@publicIP
For example:
ssh -i "testkey-kp.pem" jsmith@90.101.0.132
On Windows, you can access your cluster via SSH by using an SSH client such as PuTTY. For more information, refer to How to use PuTTY on Windows.
