NetBackup™ for MongoDB Administrator's Guide

Obtaining the RSA key of the MongoDB nodes

Use the following command on the MongoDB hosts to get the SHA256 based RSA of every MongoDB node from the MongoDB cluster:

cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub |awk '{print $2}' |base64 -d |sha256sum |awk '{print $1}'

The output of the commands is the RSA key.

For example:

cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub |awk '{print $2}' |base64 -d |sha256sum |awk '{print $1}'

Command output:

b2352722053ac9f40bc1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX419fa241ba9431fd6b9

Copy the RSA fingerprint. You need to provide this fingerprint when you add the MongoDB credentials.
