You need to generate public and private keys for a user on the HP machine, and create an "identification" file in the user's .ssh2 directory which references the user's private key thus:
idkey [private key file]
Once this is done you need to copy across the public key for that user to the .ssh2 directory of a user on the Solaris machine. Then reference this public key in the "authorization" file of the Solaris user thus:
key [public key file]
You should now be able to ssh to the solaris machine as the second user without being prompted for a password, this:
ssh [user]@hostname
If you wish to execute a command as that user:
ssh [user]@hostmame "[command]"
Reading the man pages on ssh, sshd and ssh-keygen should iron out any problems you continue to have. If not post back here.

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)
NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine and append the indicated identity file to that machine's ~/.ssh/autho-
rized_keys file.
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary.)
NOTES
This program does not modify the permissions of any pre-existing files or directories. Therefore, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in
its configuration, then the user's home, ~/.ssh folder, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file may need to have group writability disabled manu-
ally, e.g. via
chmod go-w ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
on the remote machine.
