Hi all,
I have problem with exchanging public key from a HP SSH sever to a
OpenSSH server:
System details:
- TruCluster V5.1 (PK5) on 2 GS 60. HP SSH V3.2.0
- OpenBSD 3.3 with OpenSSH_3.6, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
0x00907003) on Intel Pentium
Here are what I did:
- I created a public key on a TruCluster node:
ssh-keygen2 -t RSA
- Copied the public key ~username/.ssh2/id_rsa_2048_a.pub to the
username@openbsd:~/.ssh/authorized_keys_temp
- On the OpenBSD, import the public key generated on the TruCluster
node into the OpenSSH format (followed the guide from
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/ssh/ssh32/INSTADMN/CHPMNGTR.HTM#anch_0068)
ssh-keygen -if ~/.ssh/authorized_keys_temp > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
- on the TruCluster node when I ran
ssh -l username openbsd
I was still prompted for a password.
If if entered the password, of course, I could log in
I thought with what I did above, I should not be prompted for a password.
Does anyone know why?
I also tried on a TruCluster 5.1A cluster and a stand-alone Tru64 5.1
box and they all behave the same: prompt for a password.
I turned on the debugging and here is the info:
alphabox> ssh -d 1 -l phamd openbsdbox

Any help would be very appreciated.
