<div>I have a crazy notion of storing a host's SSH private keys

<div>I'm on CentOS 7.2 and I'm using the RPMs available in the
standard centos base repository, so I'm constrained to version
1.0 vaults. I'm using this page: <a href="http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Password_Vault_1.0#Provisioning_service_vault_password_for_service_instance" target="_blank">http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/Password_Vault_1.0#Provisioning_service_vault_password_for_service_instance</a></div>

<div>I'm trying these following steps but running into trouble:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ipa service-add ssh/<a href="http://test01.dev.redacted.net" target="_blank">test01.dev.redacted.net</a><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>certutil -N -d testcertdb</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>certutil -R -d testcertdb -a -g 2048 -s 'CN=<a href="http://test01.dev.redacted.net" target="_blank">test01.dev.redacted.net</a>,O=<a href="http://DEV.REDACTED.NET" target="_blank">DEV.REDACTED.NET</a>'</div>
</div>
<div><paste that csr into the ipa web gui></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ipa-getcert request -r -f testsshd01-cert.pem -k
testsshd01-key.pem -K ssh/<a href="mailto:test01.dev.redacted.net@DEV.REDACTED.NET" target="_blank">test01.dev.redacted.net@DEV.REDACTED.NET</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ipa vault-add testsshd02 --service ssh/<a href="mailto:test01.dev.redacted.net@DEV.REDACTED.NET" target="_blank"></a><a href="mailto:test01.dev.redacted.net@DEV.REDACTED.NET" target="_blank">test01.dev.redacted.net@DEV.REDACTED.NET</a>
--type asymmetric --public-key-file testsshd01-cert.pem<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>the last command gives me "ipa: ERROR: invalid
'ipavaultpublickey': Invalid or unsupported vault public key:
Could not unserialize key data."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a preferred way to create a public key for
asymmetric encryption for a service vault?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Hello,<br>
I suspect you should use just private key, not certificate<br>
