Disable Host Key Verification?

[Paul Houle]

I'm trying to connect to an EC2 instance that I just spun up and don't know the host key.

How do I disable Host Key Verification?

Ditto.

Basically need the equivalent of -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no to ignore known_hosts

Anybody?

      ssh.addHostKeyVerifier(new HostKeyVerifier() {

        @Override

        public boolean verify(String arg0, int arg1, PublicKey arg2) {

          return true;

        }

      });

apparently works.

 sshClient.getTransport().addHostKeyVerifier(new PromiscuousVerifier());
