SSH Login to Vmware ESXi with ssh keys

To login with ssh private key in Vmware ESXi, store the public key in the following file: /etc/ssh/keys-root/authorized_keys

Code:

# cat mykey.pub >> /etc/ssh/keys-root/authorized_keys

Make sure to use double angle brackets to avoid losing the contents of /etc/ssh/keys-root/authorized_keys.
