You can simply generate on your own with ssh-keygen.

You should be able to login from Master node to Slave node without password.
(<master># ssh root@<slave_ip> ) thats it.

It is supported in 3.6.5. It involves more steps in addition to below 
mentioned(which is for root user).
Please refer the link which you have 
mentioned.(http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users.old/2015-January/020080.html)
