To turn on SSH public key authentication for the FSX admin user on my FSx for ONTAP file system do the following:

You should have an SSH key pair. To make a brand-new key pair on a Linux-based system, you should run the ssh-keygen command.
To get value of the key-pair, do this command to recover the contents from .pub file.
The fsxadmin user should be able to sign in with a password.
