Description of problem: The remote_execution_ssh_keys provisioning template (snippet) Satellite WebUI -> Host -> Provisioning Templates > remote_execution_ssh_keys seems to indicate that by creating a host or global parameter labelled 'remote_execution_ssh_keys' and setting the public key as the parameter value will ensure that the set value will be inserted into "~/.ssh/authorized_keys file" on the provisioned machine. However this does not work as suggested. The template seems to be inserting the foreman-proxy key into authorized_keys file and not anything else. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-6.6.0 Steps to Reproduce: Navigate to Satellite WebUI -> Configure -> Host Groups -> <Hostgroup_Name> -> Parameters -> Host Group Parameters -> Add Parameter and enter below values. Name: remote_execution_ssh_keys Value: <Public_Key_To_Be_Deployed> Once done, provision a new host using above host group. Actual results: My assumption is this is a setting that is overridden somehow by foreman for the foreman-proxy key only and the global or host parameters are ignored contrary to the comments in the snippet template. Expected results: The key value set for 'remote_execution_ssh_keys' parameter should be inserted into "~/.ssh/authorized_keys file" on the provisioned machine.
Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/28483 from this bug
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/28483 has been resolved.
Verified on Satellite 6.7 snap 10 with the pubkey supplied to the remote_execution_ssh_keys hostgroup parameter quoted in an array. The key is correctly resolved in the provisioning template and is present in authorized keys on provisioned host.
