    Please note this is for UNIX Environment Users

    1. Get the current system public key:

    delphix > system get sshPublicKey
            ssh-rsa

    2. Add this key (starting with ssh-rsa) to the remote user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. You will need to get access to this file using an alternate authentication mechanism (such as logging in as the user with a password, or logging in as an administraor).

    3. Create a new environment user:

    delphix > environment
    delphix environment > user create

    4. Set the user environment and name:

    delphix environment user create * > set environment=environment1
    delphix environment user create * > set name=username

    5. Set the user credential type to SystemKeyCredential:

    delphix environment user create * > set credential.type=SystemKeyCredential

    6. Commit the results:

    delphix environment user create * > commit
