Description

Karaf client is deprecating the 'password' option, however it doesn't allow public key authentication, which Karaf SSH server already supports (THANK YOU YOU GUYS R TRULY AWSUM!!!!!).

It should support -i parameter, which is the path to an OpenSSH private key file.

Optionally, it can read ~/.ssh/id_rsa file as default identity to use.
