Description

File “authorized_keys" from the host OS is used to create corresponding “authorized_keys" files inside Exasol database containers.

Syntax of “authorized_keys" entries allows “from” option as follows

from="10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16" ssh-ed25519 ABCD my_user

Presence of this option in host OS “authorized_keys” file lead to corruption of “authorized_keys" files inside Exasol database containers during cluster installation or restart, making connecting to COS via ssh impossible.

Workaround

Edit “authorized_keys” files belonging to Exasol database containers accordingly.

If you need help in identifying these files, please contact Exasol Support.

Fix

Entries in the authorized_keys file that contain a from="IP1,IP2,IP3" option are now correctly handled.
