passwordless ssh connetion to RPA

Hello everyone,

I want to setup a passwordless ssh connection from an AIX machine to RPA Site Management.

I created the ssh key on my AIX 6.1 machine and i run the command add_ssh_key to add the key of the machine to the RPA that i want to connect.

The version of RPA is 3.5 SP2.

When i am trying to connect to the RPA from the AIX machine through ssh it keeps prompting for password.

Do i need to do anything else to connect without password?

Thank you

After you generated the ssh key on the AIX server did you logon to RP using the Managment/Cluster IP address as admin and enter the add_ssh_key command and add the required details?

Can you send the exact output.

I find the easier thing to do is create the ssh key on your AIX box (ssh-keygen -t rsa) then coping the public key from ~/.ssh/id_key.rsa.pub and appending it to the authorized_keys on the target server (RPA in this case)

its ok i figure out what i was doing wrong.

i should run the command add_ssh_key on RPA from the user that i want to connect remotely.

i was running the command as admin while i wanted to create the key for other user.

sorry for that.

thanks for the reply anyway
