Creating or Importing an SSH Key Pair (Native OpenStack API)

Function

This API is used to create an SSH key pair or import a public key to generate a key pair.

After an SSH key pair is generated, download the private key to a local directory. Then, you can use this private key to log in to the BMS. For BMS security purposes, a private key can be downloaded only once. Keep it secure.

URI

POST /v2.1/{project_id}/os-keypairs

Table 1 lists the parameters.

**Table 1** Parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
project_id	Yes	Specifies the project ID. For how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining Required Information.

Request Parameters

When creating an SSH key pair, you only need to configure name. When importing a public SSH key, you must also configure public_key.

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
keypair	Yes	Object	Specifies the created or imported SSH key pair. For details, see Table 2.

**Table 2** **keypair** data structure
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
public_key	No	String	Specifies the imported public key. The maximum size of the imported public key is 1024 bytes. Note: If the length of the public key to be imported exceeds 1024 bytes, the public key import to the BMS will fail.
name	Yes	String	Specifies the key pair name. The new key pair name cannot be the same as an existing one.

Example Request

Creating or importing an SSH key pair (name: keypair-7d7c3650-dabe-4eb0-b904-5c464453c043) with the public key ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAgQC9mC3WZN9UGLxgPBpP7H5jZMc6pKwOoSgre8yun6REFktn/Kz7DUt9jaR1UJyRzHxITfCfAIgSxPdGqB/oF1suMyWgu5i0625vavLB5z5kC8Hq3qZJ9zJO1poE1kyD+htiTtPWJ88e12xuH2XB/CZN9OpEiF98hAagiOE0EnOS5Q== Generated by Nova\n
