Sync Issues

Troubleshoot when keys are not syncing to hosts as expected.

Sync Issues

If keys are not appearing in authorized_keys files as expected, follow these steps.

Check Host Status

In the Lockwave dashboard, verify the host shows a healthy status. If it shows offline or error, resolve connectivity issues first.

Verify Assignments

Confirm that:

  • The key has an active assignment to the host
  • The assignment targets the correct OS user
  • The key is not blocked
  • Break-glass is not active

Check Sync Timing

The daemon syncs at the interval configured for your plan:

  • Free: every 5 minutes
  • Standard: every 2 minutes
  • Business: every 1 minute
  • Enterprise: every 30 seconds

Force Sync

Restart the daemon to trigger an immediate sync:

sudo systemctl restart lockwaved
