Failed to connect to the host via ssh: nVMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.7.0.40000

Hi,

We are using Public/Private key pair to authenticate from our ansible to esxi hosts per KB VMware Knowledge Base

Is it possible to use the same authentication method to connect to vcenter?

Edit:

Found authorized_keys under /root/.ssh/

Could someone confirm this? in order for the ansible to connect I think I need to switch the appliance to go to the BASH Shell instead of the Appliance shell by default

Thanks
