This will step you through the process of generating a SSH keypair on Mac OS X. Begin by opening your Terminal, generally found in the 'Utilities' subdirectory of your 'Applications' directory. Generating a keypair Before you generate your keypair, come up with a passphrase. I am using macOS Sierra and have been using AWS for a few months now and I have always connected using. Ssh -i file.pem [email protected] But today when I try connect I am being asked for the passphrase to the pem file.
SSH ( Secure SHELL) is an open source and most trusted network protocol that is used to login into remote servers for execution of commands and programs. It is also used to transfer files from one computer to another computer over the network using secure copy ( SCP) Protocol.
In this article we will show you how to setup password-less login on RHEL/CentOS 7.x/6.x/5.x and Fedora using ssh keys to connect to remote Linux servers without entering password. Using Password-less login with SSH keys will increase the trust between two Linux servers for easy file synchronization or transfer. Setup SSH Passwordless Login My Setup Environment SSH Client: 192.168.0.12 ( Fedora 21 ) SSH Remote Host: 192.168.0.11 ( CentOS 7 ) If you are dealing with number of Linux remote servers, then SSH Password-less login is one of the best way to automate tasks such as automatic backups with scripts, synchronization files using scp and remote command execution. In this example we will setup SSH password-less automatic login from server 192.168.0.12 as user tecmint to 192.168.0.11 with user sheena. Step 1: Create Authentication SSH-Kegen Keys on – (192.168.0.12) First login into server 192.168.0.12 with user tecmint and generate a pair of public keys using following command. [email protected] $ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/tecmint/.ssh/idrsa): Press enter key Created directory '/home/tecmint/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Press enter key Enter same passphrase again: Press enter key Your identification has been saved in /home/tecmint/.ssh/idrsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/tecmint/.ssh/idrsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: 5f:ad:40:00:8a:d1:9b:99:b3:b0:f8:08:99:c3:ed:d3 The key's randomart image is: +- RSA 2048-+.oooE. o. O.o.
o. O o. + + +. +-+.
Create SSH RSA Key Step 2: Create.ssh Directory on – 192.168.0.11 Use SSH from server 192.168.0.12 to connect server 192.168.0.11 using sheena as user and create.ssh directory under it, using following command. tecmint@tecmint $ ssh [email protected] mkdir -p.ssh The authenticity of host '192.168.0.11 (192.168.0.11)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 45:0e:28:11:d6:81:62:16:04:3f:db:38:02:la:22:4e. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Yes Warning: Permanently added '192.168.0.11' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. [email protected]'s password: Enter Your Password Here.
So I've gone ahead and generated a Key using Puttygen. From there I've also done the following steps:. Generated a Key. Copied the Public Key string. Logged onto the pi through SCP. Copied the public Key string into authorized keys.
tried logging into the Pi from a seperate Pi using the Private key. ssh -i OpenSesameKey.ppk [email protected] I am getting the following verbose output: pi@raspberrypi: $ ssh -i OpenSesameKey.ppk [email protected] -v OpenSSH6.7p1 Raspbian-5+deb8u2, OpenSSL 1.0.1t 3 May 2016 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/sshconfig debug1: /etc/ssh/sshconfig line 19: Applying options for. debug1: Connecting to 10.0.0.12 10.0.0.12 port 22. Debug1: Connection established. Generated a Key From the log you are using OpenSesameKey.ppk key, which is in PuTTY format and it is not understand by openssh (commandline ssh).
You either generate a new key using ssh-keygen or convert the existing key using PuTTYgen as described on: In short:. Load your private key into PuTTYgen. Go to Conversions - Export OpenSSH and export your key as OpenSesameKey.key Then you should be able to connect (if you put the public key correctly to the server) with ssh -i OpenSesameKey.key [email protected].
