Automation: Verify Server Configuration

Must complete the steps to setup the CCF-VM automation script found on Automation-Setup: CCF-VM prior to running these tests

Assumptions

1. The otto_rsa private key is readable by user performing tests and is stored in /tmp/otto_rsa
2. localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1
3. No firewalls or other issues are blocking this communication
4. If on a remote device replace localhost with the resolvable FQDN or IP address for the CCF-VM server and ensure that TCP port 22 is allowed from the testing device to the CCF-VM server
