Description Michal Privoznik 2020-10-15 06:50:53 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1885332 +++

Description of problem:

From a high level, this is a request for an API to set values within a guest OS's  authorized_keys file. This is similar in concept to the guest-set-user-password API command that already exists today [1].

The Background here is that OpenShift Virtualization (previously known as CNV) would like to begin leveraging the guest agent to dynamically inject ssh public keys into a running guest OS

We have already proven out the concept using the guest's file manipulation and exec capabilities here [2], however the commands we use in this proof of concept are not generally enabled for RHEL hosts. It's possible these commands are too permissive to ever be considered as being enabled by default. 

A targeted API (like a future guest-set-authorized-keys command) would likely be easier to justify enabling by default in RHEL guests, and would allow us to avoid tunneling a series of complex execution commands using the exec API.
