Generate a key pair on your Master distribution point (DP) that the script will use for authentication to each of your remote DPs, by running the following command in Terminal (copy/paste).

/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -f "$HOME/.ssh/jamfMasterDP" -N ""  

This will create your private key and public key files in your home folder:
