Passwordless SSH'ing (Remote Management) w/ Nodegrid

Passwordless SSH'ing (Remote Management) w/ Nodegrid


  1. On the Nodegrid, under the "root" user's ( ~/.ssh directory ), create a file called "authorized_keys" and change the permissions.  
    1. # touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
    2. # chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

  2. On the remote server, create an ssh key for the user account that you want to use with passwordless login.
    1. # ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -q -P ""
    2. # ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@<nodegrid's IP address>
