Default key
The default user key can be set in the USER_KEY
variable and otherwise
is ~/.ssh/id_rsa
. Note that on Windows we treat '~' as the windows user
home (and not the documents folder).
my_key() my_pubkey()
The my_pubkey()
function looks for the public key by appending .pub
to the above key path. If this file does not exist, it reads the private key file
and automatically derives the corresponding pubkey. In the latter case the user
may be prompted for a passphrase if the private key is protected.
# Set random RSA key as default key <- rsa_keygen() write_pem(key, tmp <- tempfile(), password = "") rm(key) Sys.setenv("USER_KEY" = tmp) # Check the new keys print(my_key()) print(my_pubkey())
