Hello,
I installed openSSH client on windows.
Create a public key using the command
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Copied the key to the unix box using the command
scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@hostname:.ssh/authorized_keys
changed the permissions on authorized_keys
chmod 600
The USERNAME on the windows and unix box are the same.
When I try to run the remote script using ssh
ssh user@hostname scriptname
It Prompts me for the PASSWORD. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks
GV
I am including the client side trace when I used ssh below.
