I am attempting to get ssh key authenticated scans working with Nessus.
I have the keys in place and can login using say putty with the keys. I have set the public and private keys in the nessus plug in options (using NessusWX) to use the public and private keys.
Have you also configured the scan to use the appropriate account for SSH?
When you run a scan, what do you see in the logs on the targets?
