Managing OS Users

Configure which OS-level users on each host should have their authorized_keys managed.

Managing OS Users

Lockwave manages authorized_keys files for specific OS users on each host.

Adding OS Users

  1. Navigate to the host detail page
  2. Click Add OS User
  3. Enter the username (e.g. deploy, ubuntu, root)
  4. Optionally specify a custom authorized_keys path

Default Paths

If no custom path is specified, Lockwave uses the standard location:

/home/{username}/.ssh/authorized_keys

For root: /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

Removing OS Users

Removing an OS user from Lockwave stops managing its authorized_keys file. Existing keys in the file are not removed automatically.
