=== Allow Remote SSH Login Without Password Prompt === | |||
In order to be able to access a remote server via an SSH session without needing to suppy a password, the remote server needs to trust the user on the local server. In order to do this, the public key for the user needs to be imported to the remote server. This is particularly useful when trying to script using ssh, scp, rsync, etc where you need to interract with a remote server. | |||
You need to be clear on which user will access the remote the server, if your script is run as root, then its the root user that needs to have its public key exported. | |||
Similarly, on the remote server you need to ensure that that the user that has the public key key imported into, has the rights to perform whatever it is that you want to achieve. This ''shouldn't'' be the root user (to do so you'd need to allow <code>PermitRootLogin </code> in the remote server's SSH config, which is a security no-no). | |||
# On the local server, create a public/private rsa key pair while logged in as the user that will access the remote server | |||
#* <code> ssh-keygen -t rsa </code> (leave passphrase blank) | |||
#** This creates a public key in <code> ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub </code> | |||
# Copy the public key to the user on the remote server | |||
#* <code> ssh-copy-id -i user@remote-svr </code> | |||
#** The <code> user </code> is the user account on the remote server that the local server will be trusted by and run as. | |||
# Test the login as suggested by <code> ssh-copy-id </code> | |||
#* <code> ssh user@remote-svr </code> | |||
