Identity

What is Identity?

An Identity is a combination of an SSH username and SSH key pair. You can use it as credentials to authenticate an SSH connection to your Server. The Identity is referenced while creating a Rule.

Further proceeding, we assume that you are already in a particular Stack view and not in the Dashboard view.

Add Identity

• Navigate to the Identities view by clicking the Identity icon on the left side menu bar in the Stack view.
• To add a new Identity, click Add Identity link on the top right corner of the Identities view.
• You will get into the Add Identity form.

We recommend allowing SloopEngine to automatically generate an SSH key pair while adding a new Identity. To accomplish this, enable the Generate key pair checkbox.

Update Identity

• Navigate to the Identities view by clicking the Identity icon on the left side menu bar in the Stack view.
• Click the pencil icon of the Identity which you want to update.
• You will get into the Update Identity form.

Sync Identity

• SSH to your Server (via host terminal) and deploy SloopEngine CLI in it.
• Navigate to the Identities view by clicking the Identity icon on the left side menu bar in the Stack view.
• Click the refresh icon of the Identity which you want to sync to the Server.
• Copy the command in the popup and execute it in your Server.

sudo sloopengine identity sync --stack-id 1224 --id 3852
              

Change Keys

• Navigate to the Identities view by clicking the Identity icon on the left side menu bar in the Stack view.
• Click the key icon of the Identity which you want to change the keys.
• You will get into the Change Keys form.

We recommend allowing SloopEngine to automatically generate an SSH key pair while adding a new Identity. To accomplish this, enable the Generate key pair checkbox.
