# This is a default script which installs or uninstalls an RSA public key to/from
# authoried_keys file in a typical linux machine. 
# 
# If the platform differs or if the binaries used in this script are not available
# in targer machine, use the 'install_script' parameter with 'roles/' endpoint to
# register a custom script (applicable for Dynamic type only).
#
# Vault server runs this script on the target machine with the following params:
#
# $1:INSTALL_OPTION: "install" or "uninstall"
#
# $2:PUBLIC_KEY_FILE: File name containing public key to be installed. Vault server
# uses UUID as name to avoid collisions with public keys generated for other requests.
#
# $3:AUTH_KEYS_FILE: Absolute path of the authorized_keys file.
# Currently, vault uses /home/<username>/.ssh/authorized_keys as the path.
#
# [Note: This script will be run by Vault using the registered admin username.
# Notice that some commands below are run as 'sudo'. For graceful execution of
# this script there should not be any password prompts. So, disable password
# prompt for the admin username registered with Vault.
