At this point, you have to copy the CA's public key into your server's authorized_keys file . This can't be done with ssh-copy-id as the CA's key is not loaded into you ssh-agent nor available in the ~/.ssh directory.
You should have something like :
- server:~# cat .ssh/authorized_keys
- cert-authority ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAICAL7l1sQuKe4daLfKGZuiRPZZXquokQyH+p6utlZxZ+ Test CA
+server:~# cat .ssh/authorized_keys
+cert-authority ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAICAL7l1sQuKe4daLfKGZuiRPZZXquokQyH+p6utlZxZ+ Test CA
Note the line beginning with cert-authority which is not common. For reference, read "AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT" chapter here : [http://man.he.net/man5/authorized_keys](http://man.he.net/man5/authorized_keys)
