Password less connection(sftp/ssh)
Dear All,

I'm trying to configure a passwordless connection between two servers of HP-UX. i have srearched the configuration in google so many times and as per the guidence i have done all the steps, but still its not working and every time it is asking for password while trying to scp some file from local to remote.

SERVERA
user:abc

SERVERB
user:xyz

could anyone suggest how can i resolve the issue. Please note that i dont have root access. but all the credentials of abc@SERVERA and xyz@SERVERB i have with me. Please help

Regards,
Pankaj

I guess at least one of the steps of the guide was done wrong or is missing. There is also a lot of threads in this forum regarding this topic which can be displayed by using the search function of the forum.

Nevertheless it is basically that you create with ssh-keygen a key pair for each user - when being asked for a passphrase just press ENTER to keep it empty. Then you add the public key of user abc in the .ssh/authorized_keys and/or .ssh/authorized_keys2 of the user xyz and vice versa.

It is possible that the system adinistration has disabled this option.
