Description Jatan Malde 2021-05-20 02:23:26 UTC 
Document URL: 

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.7/installing/installing_bare_metal/installing-bare-metal.html#ssh-agent-using_installing-bare-metal

Section Number and Name: 

Generating an SSH private key and adding it to the agent

Describe the issue: 

When user uses ed25519 keys with FIPS enabled, the ssh keys are dropped and not used and ssh to the node post booting fails with permission denied message. 

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1962414

Suggestions for improvement: 

There should be a note in the above section mentioning that user should be aware that if FIPS is enabled ed25519 keys are not supported.
