OK, so I'm jamming an admin user with a publicly into into the database. But I'm missing a step. I can't connect via ssh, and restarting gerrit makes no difference. When I then upload a key manually, for a different user, my admin key starts to work. I sense this is a cache flushing thing, but short of diving into the code, I'm not sure. Any hints/experiences?

I jammed the admin in the database directly. Then the api after.

I want to be able to automate the creation of accounts and running of gerrit commands over ssh. In the simplest case, I want to automate the creation of a non-interactive Jenkins user, but that's just a specific example of a general requirement.As far as I can tell, there are three ways to get ssh keys for Gerrit users into Gerrit:1) Upload them via the web interface2) Supply them via the gerrit create-account command3) Stick them directly in the database and flush the cacheI have issues with all 3:1) This just really sucks. Sure I can automate it, but… really?2) This has a dependency problem - you need a user with an ssh key in the first place3) This is a bit nasty, and so far I haven't found a way to flush the cache without using the ssh command, so has the same dependency issueHave any of you chefs solved this?S.
