Check this discussion. It is for ArubaOS controllers, but likely will work for Instant as well..

Subject: SSH to iAP 505 using public key......how?
Hi,
I would like to SSH onto Instant APs and VCs without using username & password for admin.
How do I install my SSH public key onto the AP?
What format should the file be in?
Is it the "Public" or the "Client" certificate....if either? :)
Thank you.
Andy.
