SSH into remote server using Public-private keys
- by maria
Hi,
I have recently setup ssh on two linux machines (lets call them server-a, client-b). I have generated two ssh auth files on client-b machine using ssh key gen and can see both public and private files in .ssh dir. I have named them 'example' and 'example.pub'.
Then I have added example.pub to sever-a's auth file.
When I try to ssh into server-a it still requests a password authentication where as I want a password less login (private key on client-b is setup without password).
When I try to ssh with '-v' .. get the following output:
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Trying private key: /Users/abc/.ssh/identity
debug1: Offering public key: /Users/abc/.ssh/id_rsa
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Offering public key: /Users/abc/.ssh/id_dsa
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
debug2: userauth_kbdint
debug2: we sent a keyboard-interactive packet, wait for reply
debug2: input_userauth_info_req
debug2: input_userauth_info_req: num_prompts 1
