SFTP-based repository setup script

To save time in setting up a new SFTP-based driver repository, use the driver_repo_wizard.sh script.

The driver_repo_wizard.sh script can be found in the following locations on Ubuntu or Oracle Linux-based servers:

• :
  • /bin/emc/scaleio/scini_sync

  • /bin/emc/scaleio/xcache_sync

The script does the following:

1. Creates a new user with a name you provide. The user will be created shell-less.

2. Creates a pair of RSA keys that will be used for passwordless SSH connection. You must provide the created private key to all your client nodes, while the public key will be added to the authorized_keys file of the created user.

3. Updates the SSH service configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) for the new user, instructing to chroot the user to its home directory, which should also be the repository base directory.
