+Setting up CA signed keys for the cluster
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Cephadm also supports using CA signed keys for SSH authentication
+across cluster nodes. In this setup, instead of needing a private
+key and public key, we instead need a private key and certificate
+created by signing that private key with a CA key. For more info
+on setting up nodes for authentication using a CA signed key, see
+:ref:`cephadm-bootstrap-ca-signed-keys`. Once you have your private
+key and signed cert, they can be set up for cephadm to use by running:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+ ceph config-key set mgr/cephadm/ssh_identity_key -i <private-key-file>
+ ceph config-key set mgr/cephadm/ssh_identity_cert -i <signed-cert-file>
+
