Good Afternoon,
Thanks for your response. I have tried to work through both you answer and
the solution you provided in the web link. So far I am still unable to get
the passwordless connection to work.
Here is my setup:
Windows 2000 server. Windows user name is colibri. I have generated the RSA
keys which were created in the c:\Documents and Settings\colibri\.ssh
directory (id_rsa & id_rsa.pub).
The user that I wish to connect to on the HP UX server is applmgr. So I take
the id_rsa.pub file and copy it to the HPUX server. It was placed in the
/u02/app/applmgr/.ssh directly and named authorized_keys.
Supposedly once this is done I should be able to connect to the HPUX server
from the Windows server as applmgr via ssh or sftp (example : sftp
applmgr@finprod1 ) without being asked for a password... correct? I am still
prompted for a password.
Or is this process assuming that I have identical users on both servers with
identical passwords?
I am sure this is a very simple setup and that I am missing something
simple.
Please help me clarify the situation and/or point out my problem.
Thanks again for you help,
Chris Shehan
