Path does not exist "keys" for ssh-password-storage-path

Question

When specifying a new node with the ssh-password-storage-path in Rundeck 2.4.0 with the path keys/projects/${job.project}/nodes/${node.name}/rundeck.password, Rundeck is unable to find the path with the error below:

Originally, I placed the keys directory under the RDECK_BASE directory, but that does not seem to be the correct place. Also, putting an absolute path fails with the error 'Configuration error: SSH Password storage path is expected to start with "keys/"'. Also, trying to add a default storage path through the GUI has an error: 'Path not found: keys'. Where is the relative path of the keys directory expected to be so I don't try to add a keys directory under every subdirectory on the drive.

Answer 1

If you did a rpm installation, keys will be found in the below location /var/lib/rundeck/var/storage/content/keys/

If you had moved the keys to another location make sure to set permissions to the user used to run rundeck using chown and chmod commands
