Actually, there is a request from a tweet of Ricardo Duarte, where he wrote
that the keypair and user data is missing.

Currently, OpenNebula provides a way to define a default keypair per user
and automatically include it in the virtual machine
  1 Defiine a SSH_PUBLIC_KEY in the user template
  2 Include this variable in the CONTEXT section of the base template
(there is a checkbox in Sunstone for this):
      SSH_PUBLIC_KEY = '$USER[SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]'

Is this enough or are you using more than one keypair per user?

Cheers
