If you can "sudo su - ldaprole" interactively, then when you are in the id, you can scp to pull keys into the ssh dir from your remote or local home dir using your own password, and modify any other ldaprole ssh files necessary to ssh direct from your host-account to this host-account. The access you get you already have, if you an ssh to your own account there passwordlessly, just now there is only one step.

okay. Further illustrating --


Code:
/home/gy1212> ssh myhost 'sudo su - ldaprole'

^CKilled by signal 2.

The issue is that it prompt me to enter password, and also it display the password as plain text. I do not want it to be prompted for a password, or at least should not display the password in plain text.

Thanks. John.

Allright, i solve it myself. i copied the my id_rsa.pub key to ldaprole, and i am not longer prompted for password.

Thanks everyone.

Yes, ssh command mode has a terminal-free login, so the echo cannot be supressed there, but the echo is pprobably coming from the local stty, so turn it off using stty, first.

Or better yet, use the sudo su to log in and move the keys over, then log into ldaprole with ssh, no su!
