E-smith DB reference

The general configuration is stored in the client-manager key. Properties of such key are:

• lastConfig: timestamp of the actual configuration set
• ManagementKeyFile: management user's SSH public key
• ManagementPrivateKeyFile: management user's SSH private key

All host-specific information are stored in the hosts db. For each host we have:

• sshUser: ssh user used to connect to the host. This is set when SSH adoption is successful
