Summary
The CheckHostKey operation exists in the OperationType enum and is implemented by built-in backends (e.g., Cisco NX-OS), but the Scriptable engine explicitly throws MethodNotSupportedByPlatformException for it. Custom platform authors cannot implement this operation.
Use Case
Custom SSH-based platforms need a way to verify that the stored host key fingerprint still matches the target device. Today, DiscoverSshHostKey can retrieve a host key, but there is no scriptable operation to validate an already-stored key against the live target. This would allow SPP to detect host key changes (potential MITM or device replacement) as a scheduled check, separate from the full CheckSystem flow.
Current Behavior
ScriptableModule.CheckHostKey() throws MethodNotSupportedByPlatformException- No
[ScriptableOperation] attribute is present
- The operation is not mapped to a task name on the appliance side
Requested Behavior
- Add
[ScriptableOperation(OperationType.CheckHostKey)] to ScriptableModule
- Implement the operation handler (similar pattern to
DiscoverSshHostKey)
- Map it to an appropriate task name on the appliance side
- Document it in the custom platform script reference
