No SSH pub key content or fingerprint in WebUI

[Nobuto Murata]

MAAS can manage SSH keys for a user, but it doesn't show the content of public keys nor fingerprint. That makes key management hard like users are not able to distinguish keys precisely other than the comment.

Would be nice to a capability to reveal either the full content of a pub key or a fingerprint (ssh-keygen -l).

For the record, an API request can reveal the full content.

$ maas admin sshkeys read
Success.
Machine-readable output follows:
[
    {
        "key": "ssh-ed25519 (...) ubuntu@maas",
        "id": 1,
        "keysource": "",
        "resource_uri": "/MAAS/api/2.0/account/prefs/sshkeys/1/"
    }
]

4 keys are different each other, but those look the same in WebUI.

Hi Nobuto,

Thanks for the bug report.

To me it seems to be a feature request.
We are tracking those on Discourse, so I've created a new post there instead:

This is a UI bug as a key deletion operation can remove an unexpected key.

We could add a tooltip on hover showing the full key as well as a column with the fingerprint
