automatic login by public key is not working
 

i tried to create public key as follow:
server1$ssh-keygen -t dsa
server1$ scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub oracle@server2:.ssh/authorized_keys

server2$chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

but automatic login by public key is not working as follow:
server1$ ssh -vvv server2
..
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/oracle/.ssh/id_dsa.
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN'

what is wrong!

your error is telling you what the problem is. you generated a dsa key and the login is expecting a rsa key. run your ssh-keygen again but this time do this:

this will generate a military grade rsa key.

then from your ~/.ssh/ directory you can use the following to get it to the second server:

then you should be able to ssh ruser@rhost without p/w prompt as long as both sides are configured properly.

Hi,



Look after the below blog for configuration passwordless login between two server .
