Frequently Asked Questions

Which deployments are affected?

Deployments where generate_ssh_key is enabled are affected. The issue concerns the handling of the user's ~/.ssh directory during SSH key generation.

How can I determine whether this condition applies to my environment?

Check whether generate_ssh_key is enabled and whether the affected workflow invokes User.ssh_key_gen(). The relevant directory is ~/.ssh.
