Instead, OpenStack creates your VM with one SSH (Secure Shell) public key installed, and you can only log in using this SSH key pair. If you have used SSH keys before, the SSH public key can come from a key pair which you have already created on some other machine. In this case follow the instructions below for '''Importing an existing key pair'''. If you have not used SSH key pairs before or don't currently have a pair you want to use, OpenStack can create a pair for you. In this case follow the instructions below for '''Creating a new key pair'''. For more information on creating and managing your key pairs see the [[SSH Keys/en|SSH Keys page]] in our wiki. | |||
