Hi,

The auth key is like a secret key that you can generate on your own. One of the ways it can be generated using the following command

head -c 200 /dev/urandom | md5sum | awk '{ print $1 }'

You need to add this to /opt/ovz-web-panel/utils/hw-daemon/hw-daemon.ini ... there is a hw-daemon/hw-daemon.ini.sample file you can use to get started.

address = <ipaddr>

port = <port>

key = <The auth key goes here >

Cheers!

Pankaj.

I've not tried it yet. Another query I had for the developers was, Do we really need to add the root password to the interface? Can we not replace it with a ssh key?

Instead of giving of root access your can make all steps manually.
Root access is used only once to put the daemon on the remote server
and to generate the key.
