If you have 2 or more grids you can create a "user" account that will allow for migration from the browser or without having key forwarding enabled.

each grid has a key pair that it uses when trying to connect to other grids. you can get the public key by executing "grid info -v" on the grid.


example (keys and IPs have been changed for security :):

(root)demo> grid info -v
Grid Name : demo
Grid Description :
AppLogic Version : 2.1.1 hf2081 hf2192
Controller IP : 192.168.0.1
Grid ID : 1/1
Current Time : Wed Jul 2 13:22:51 PDT 2008
System Uptime : 129 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes
Grid Public SSH Key : ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAvBd9k<majority of key removed>=

# you can then set a user account on the 2nd grid and use the "Grid Public SSH Key" as the account key.

(root)demo2> user create migrate@3tera.net pwd=- sshkey="ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAvBd9k<majority of key removed>="


if you create accounts in this manner on both of your grids it will allow you to migrate apps between the grid without agent forwarding or from the browser.
