Manual configuration:
On the GUI server:
# Make an SSH key set special for Passenger Apache mkdir -p /var/www/.ssh/
# Generate an RSA key with NO passcode ssh-keygen -f /var/www/.ssh/id_rsa -q -t rsa -N ""
# Make Apache the owner of the keys chown -R apache:apache /var/www/.ssh/
# Share the public key with the servers cat /var/www/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh USER@SERVER_IP 'mkdir -p ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod -R 700 ~/.ssh' # Repeat this step for all the remote servers you want your GUI to connect to (change USER and SERVER_IP correspondingly)
If keys are configured, but GUI still cannot connect, check gui debug log, if it shows similar error like this:
Retrieve PCAP error: fingerprint 32:0f:3e:0e:3e:5f:04:be:a9:09:e3:82:28:44:89:64 does not match for "1.2.3.4"
you need to remove 1.2.3.4 from /var/www/.ssh/known_hosts
