You have two choices then:-
- Generate an SSH key pair on each client that wants to connect to AA and store the public key for each in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys files on server AA (one on each line)
- Generate a single SSH key pair on server AA and copy the private key to each client
The second option makes things slightly easier, but much more difficult to dismantle later on, should the need arise. I would strongly recommend option 1.

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for hostbased authentication
SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign
DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during hostbased authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
HostbasedAuthentication to ``yes''.
ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about hostbased authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read-
able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if hostbased
authentication is used.

ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
