12.2. Validating your SSH key size
Starting with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.1, a minimum SSH key size of 2048 bits is required. If your current SSH key on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) director is less than 2048 bits, you can lose access to the overcloud. You must verify that your SSH key meets the required bit size.
Procedure
Validate your SSH key size:
ssh-keygen -l -f /home/stack/overcloud-deploy/overcloud/ssh_private_keyExample output:
1024 SHA256:Xqz0Xz0/aJua6B3qRD7VsLr6n/V3zhmnGSkcFR6FlJw stack@director.example.local (RSA)- If your SSH key is less than 2048 bits, you must rotate out the SSH key before continuing. For more information, see Updating SSH keys in your OpenStack environment in Hardening Red Hat OpenStack Platform.
