I’m struggling through getting my first cas instance setup and am having issues with what I think is related to SSH. Is there any documentation detailing how to setup users / ssh or how to setup cas in general? (other than what’s on the wiki).

Specifically, I’m trying to do a cas-admin –s to build my initial database (right). Using any other user than root here (although that appears to be “recommended”) errors out. But to use root, I need to allow root ssh, create a key, etc… none of which is ideal, right? Also, even after doing that, I still get the error:

[root@host1 .ssh]# cas-admin -s

[.cas.] :: Building CAS Server DB instance.

[.cas.][debug] :: Failed to connect to tchsacas01: Authentication failed.

I can keep trying different things, but I feel like there’s some critical piece of documentation I must be missing. Any guidance you can provide would be great.
