My ubuntu have sshd - server.
I didn't want no autentification on ssh server.
Introdution and overview about keygen
if you want no auth in ssh server, you need access on your ssh server to change some configs.
If it is a public server (like hosting servers ) configs on server should be done.
Only need to upload your key.
How to say to ssh server that it's my machine trying login?
Client generate a private and public key. You share public key with server.
private and public key matches by algorithm and it's authentication.
So server recognize the keys and doesn't ask password.
How to do that?
Server
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Change some configs to:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
PasswordAuthentication no
UsePAM no
Reload server:
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh reload
Client
Gerate key:
ssh-keygen -q -f id_rsa -t rsa
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server:~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
ssh user@server
cd .ssh
cat id_rsa.pub>>authorized_keys
rm id_rsa.pub
exit
do same on server if you wish.
AutentificationTroubles?
Put this at server:
server$ chmod go-w ~/
server$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
server$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Doesn't it works?
cat /var/log/auth.log and grep it!
