A terrible position. Have you asked why generating a key pair is not allowed? Our security team are very hot on searching for anything that has hard-coded values.

Perhaps I'm miss-reading your message though. Are you actually saying that you are connected to your local server as User1, but you need to connect to the remote server as User2 perhaps? That is still achievable with keys and therefore a password-less connection.

Another option that you may be trying to explain is that the remote server does not accept SSH connections. Is that the case perhaps?

Can you clarify exactly what you have and what you need to achieve. Have you actually tried to run ssh-keygen? Did you get any output to screen or any files generated in sub-directory .ssh?


Hard-coding is always a bad idea. At worst, your code should read the values from a file that you can protect a bit further.
