Creating functional ssh keypair on RDO Mitaka via Chrome Advanced REST Client

The problem here is that REST API POST request creating ssh-keypair to
access nova servers  doesn't write to disk rsa private key  and only upload
public one to nova. Closing Chrome Client results loosing rsa private key.
To prevent failure to write to disk private key , save response-export.json as shown bellow. Working via CLI ( invoking curl ) allows to upload rsa public key to Nova and create rsa private key as file :-

#!/bin/bash -x
curl -g -i -X POST http://192.169.142.127:8774/v2/052b16e56537467d8161266b52a43b54/os-keypairs \
-H "User-Agent: python-novaclient" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "X-Auth-Token: 2ae281359a8f4b249d5e8cf36c4233c0" -d  \
'{"keypair": {"name": "oskey1"}}' | tail -1 >output.json
echo "Generating rsa privare key for server access as file";
echo "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" >  oskey1.pem ;
sed 's/\\n/\
/g' <  output.json | grep -v "keypair" | grep -v "user_id" >>oskey1.pem ;
chmod 600 oskey1.pem 

To start ( keystone api v3 environment ) obtain project's scoped token via
request

[root@ip-192-169-142-127 ~(keystone_admin)]# curl -i  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \
' { "auth":
   { "identity":
    { "methods": ["password"], "password":
     { "user":
      { "name": "admin", "domain":
        { "id": "default" }, "password": "7049f834927e4468" }
      }
     },
  "scope":
{ "project":
  { "name": "demo", "domain":
    { "id": "default" }
     }
      }
    }
}'  http://192.169.142.127:5000/v3/auth/tokens ; echo

*******************************************************************************
The run script extracting from response-export.json the rsa private key
*******************************************************************************
#!/bin/bash -x
echo "Generating privare key for server access"
echo "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" > $1.pem
sed 's/\\n/\
/g' <  response-export.json | grep -v "keypair" | grep -v "user_id" >>$1.pem
chmod 600 $1.pem

like :-

# ./filter.sh oskeymitakaV3

***********************************
Shell command [ 1 ]  :-
***********************************
sed 's/\\n/\
/g' <  response-export.json

will replace '\n' by Carriage Return in  response-export.json.
Now login to dashboard and verify that rsa public key gets uploaded

Relaunch Chrome Advanced Rest Client and launch server with
"key_name" : "oskeymitakaV3"

******************************************************************************
Login to server using rsa private key  oskeymitakaV3.pem
