ssh private key passwordless authentication
Hello,
Need a suggestion to setup private key passwordless authentication. I am not sure this can done or not
here is the sincerio
I have two servers, sever1 with a user "user1" and servera with usera
here dataflow: usera from servera, will pull/push files to server1 on user1 homedirectory, so practically usera public key should be on server1 for user1 authorized key file for passwordless authentication.
so here is the issue now, for "usera" due to company polices they don't generate keys. After discussing this my team member, he suggested to generate and forward both private and public keys for user1 to usera on servera. I am sure what sftp options I need to use on servera to authenticate passwordless to server1.
Thanks
