how to ssh to remote unix machines using private/public key

hello,

iam able to ssh to a linux server from a linux server called "machine1" using the private/public key method, so I dont need to enter any password when I run my script but iam not able to ssh from machine1 to a UNIX server, access is denied.
note that I am using an application id which is a local id and if i run the command with my personal id (network id), it works fine.
Please let me know how to fix this problem.
Thanks
