In the normal scenario, the the ovirt user's public key should be installed
into each hypervisor. Unless something has changed as a part of the
hypervisor registration process this should be something that we can depend
upon.
My host was F19 VM added to oVirt Engine via WebAdmin GUI. I thought that
host deploy script should do the public key registration, though.
Clearly, there are edge cases where you need to collect logs from a
hypervisor that isn't properly registered with the RHEV-M. Was this your
situation and how common do you think this scenario is?
It was either a misconfiguration on my part or that I skipped some step with
regard to public key registration.

Yes, you are nulling out the default value which causes the LC to prompt you
for a PW. Perhaps we should document this as opposed to supplying a
specific option? Sandro?
Well, the doc text says "If a identity file is not supplied..." which I
understood as not supplying option value (i.e. "") at all, but this was
just my understanding.
