crthakeys (create HA keys)

Regenerate SSH public and private keys and exchange public keys between appliances in an HA pair.

Purpose

Good security practise requires that the secret keys used to secure communications between appliances in an HA pair are periodically regenerated and exchanged. Use the crthakeys command to regenerate and exchange the keys without affecting the existing HA queue managers.
