Authorized SSH key not applied to startup config

[getabc]

Current Behavior

I can't save the authorized SSH key.

Config applied

admin@r2s:/config/> edit system authentication user admin
admin@r2s:/config/system/authentication/user/admin/> set authorized-key controller 
admin@r2s:/config/system/authentication/user/admin/> set authorized-key controller algorithm ssh-rsa
admin@r2s:/config/system/authentication/user/admin/> set authorized-key controller key-data [key]
admin@r2s:/config/system/authentication/user/admin/> commit
admin@r2s:/config/system/authentication/user/admin/> leave

Running config is correct

admin@r2s:/> show running-config
...
  "ietf-system:system": {
    "hostname": "r2s",
    },
    "authentication": {
      "user": [
        {
          "name": "admin",
          "password": "$factory$",
          "authorized-key": [
            {
              "name": "controller",
              "algorithm": "ssh-rsa",
              "key-data": [key]
            }
          ],
          "infix-system:shell": "bash"
        }
      ]

Config not being applied to startup config

admin@r2s:/> copy running-config startup-config 
admin@r2s:/> show startup-config 
...
"ietf-system:system": {
    "hostname": "r2s",
    },
    "authentication": {
      "user": [
        {
          "name": "admin",
          "password": "$factory$",
          "infix-system:shell": "bash"
        }
      ]
    },
...

Workaround
Setting the hostname saves the SSH key

admin@r2s:/config/> set system hostname r2s-1
admin@r2s:/config/> commit
admin@r2s-1:/config/> exit
admin@r2s-1:/> copy running-config startup-config 
...
  "ietf-system:system": {
    "hostname": "r2s-1",
    },
    "authentication": {
      "user": [
        {
          "name": "admin",
          "password": "$factory$",
          "authorized-key": [
            {
              "name": "controller",
              "algorithm": "ssh-rsa",
              "key-data": [key]
            }
          ],
          "infix-system:shell": "bash"
        }
      ]

Expected Behavior

admin@r2s:/> show startup-config
...
  "ietf-system:system": {
    "hostname": "r2s-1",
    },
    "authentication": {
      "user": [
        {
          "name": "admin",
          "password": "$factory$",
          "authorized-key": [
            {
              "name": "controller",
              "algorithm": "ssh-rsa",
              "key-data": [key]
            }
          ],
          "infix-system:shell": "bash"
        }
      ]

Hmm which version of Infix are you using? Because I cannot reproduce the problem on the latest build I'm on:

admin@r2s:/> show version 
Infix -- a Network Operating System v24.10.1-44-g1e5d4612 -- Oct 29 05:35 CET 2024

[getabc]

It's not the latest; I'll upgrade after the release of the OpenSSL R2S update.

admin@r2s-1:/> show version 
Infix -- a Network Operating System v24.10.1-23-g8fc0ab9b -- Oct 23 17:07 PDT 2024
admin@r2s-1:/>

OK, it's been merged now.

admin@r2s-1:/> show version 
Infix -- a Network Operating System v24.10.1-23-g8fc0ab9b -- Oct 23 17:07 PDT 2024
admin@r2s-1:/> 

Huh, that's a bit worrying ... well, make sure to do a full rebuild of the r2s_defconfig from distclean so you don't get any weird transients from an incremental rebuild.

I have a similar result running the latest

admin@r2s:/> show version 
Infix -- a Network Operating System v24.10.1-49-g3e8ead6f -- Oct 29 10:42 PDT 2024

Factory the device - WAN set the DHCP at default, so able to access the WAN address

Commands

set authorized-key controller

This is super weird, I just rebuilt from distclean, upgraded and did a factory reset.

admin@r2s:/> show version 
Infix -- a Network Operating System v24.10.1-49-g3e8ead6f -- Oct 30 06:07 CET 2024

Then copy-pasted your commands (including commit which I never use) ... still works fine for me. The authorized-key both in running-config and startup-config after saving it.

Sorry, unless you can find something in the logs (/log/syslog), I just cannot replicate the problem.
