Creating a TAC using the CLI Manager
About Creating a TAC using the CLI
Before creating a TAC, ensure that the SSH Authentication type is set to Public key or Password + PublicKey.
If you are using cloned machines to join a cluster, it is necessary to rotate the keys on all cloned nodes before joining the cluster.
If the cloned machines have proxy authentication, two factor authentication, or TAC enabled, it is recommended to use new machines. This avoids any limitations or conflicts, such as, inconsistent TAC, mismatched node statuses, conflicting nodes, and key rotation failures due to keys in use.
For more information about rotating the keys, refer here.
