but the same command on the main engine returns empty

Empty list (no keys) should look similar to: {"keys": [], "version": 1, "content": "key_list"} In your case it seems that VMConsoleProxyServlet is not responding i.e. on my dev env I get a similar result (empty output,error code 1) when server is down. However you can check if DB contains the right data (key is encoded as JSON string - enclosed in double quotes): SELECT users.username, user_profiles.property_content::text FROM user_profiles JOIN users ON users.user_id = user_profiles.user_id WHERE user_profiles.property_type= 'SSH_PUBLIC_KEY'; best regards, Radek
