SSH Password-free login

SSH login with no password to use the public and private keys. Linux can be used to generate a public/private key pair with Ssh-keygen, below I take CentOS as an example.

There is machine A (192.168.1.155), B (192.168.1.181). Now want to a through SSH password-free login to B.

1. Generate a public/private key pair under the a machine.

[[email protected] ~]$ ssh-keygen-t rsa-p '

-P for the password,-p ' means the empty password, you can not use the-p parameter, so that three cars to enter, with-P on a return.
It generates the. SSH directory under/HOME/CHENLB, with Id_rsa and id_rsa.pub under SSH.

2. Copy the id_rsa.pub under the A machine to B machine, in the. ssh/authorized_keys file of B machine, I use SCP to copy.

[Email protected] ~]$ SCP. ssh/id_rsa.pub [Email protected]:/home/chenlb/id_rsa.pub
[email protected] ' s password:
Id_rsa.pub 100% 223 0.2kb/s 00:00

Since there is no password-free login, enter the password.

The 3.B machine adds the id_rsa.pub copied from a machine to the. ssh/authorzied_keys file.

[email protected] ~]$ cat id_rsa.pub >>. Ssh/authorized_keys
[Email protected] ~]$ chmod Ssh/authorized_keys

Authorized_keys's permission.

4.A Machine login B machine.

[[email protected] ~]$ ssh 192.168.1.181
The authenticity of host ' 192.168.1.181 (192.168.1.181) ' can ' t be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 00:a6:a8:87:eb:c7:40:10:39:cc:a0:eb:50:d9:6a:5b.
Is you sure want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Yes
warning:permanently added ' 192.168.1.181 ' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

The first time you log in is when you want to enter Yes.

Now a machine can be no password login B machine.

Summary: Log on the machine can have a private key, the machine to be logged on to have the public key of the machine. This public/private key pair is typically generated on the private key host. Above is the RSA algorithm's public/private key pair, of course, you can also use DSA (the corresponding file is id_dsa,id_dsa.pub)

Want to let A, B machine without password mutual login, that machine is configured in the same manner as above.
