Submitting jobs to install SSH public keys on remote hosts
In a flexible management environment, you can submit the Install SSH Public Key job to install SSH public keys on registered hosts of the job manager.
Before you begin
Start the job manager and the targets. Ensure that the targets for which you want to install an SSH public key are registered with the job manager.
To submit jobs, your ID at the job manager must be authorized for the administrator role or the operator role. When you submit a job, you can specify a user name and password for authentication and authorization at the target or targets. When you submit a job to multiple targets, the user name and password or the credentials for the submitter must apply all of the job targets.
To run the job against a large number of targets, optionally create a group of targets and submit the job against the group.

You can use the administrative console of the job manager or the deployment manager to submit the job. From the job manager console, choose the Install SSH Public Key job, specify the targets, schedule the job, review the summary, and submit the job.
Instead of using a console, you can run the Install SSH Public Key job script in the AdministrativeJobs command group. See the Administrative job types topic.
