[SSH] Need to connect to remote server as different user and without password
I have a task requiring that USER_A run a script, which connects to HOST_B as USER_B and does not ask for a password.
If I am logged in on HOST_A as USER_B, I can connect to HOST_B without a password, no problem. However, if I try running ssh with the command line "ssh USER_B@HOST_B" while logged in as USER_A, it asks for USER_B's password on HOST_B.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a way around this?
Thanks,
Todd
