1. Generate key on the remote server:

   Code Block
   bats12:~> ssh-keygen

   generating public/private rsa key pair.

2. Enter the file in which to save the key (/home/

   absharma

   <username>/.ssh/id_rsa): testingkey

3. Enter passphrase (leave it empty if there is no passphrase).

4. Enter same passphrase again, and your identification will be saved in testingkey.
   Your public key has been saved in testingkey.pub.
   
   The key fingerprint is:

   Code Block
   SHA256:uxVaJoaxAPGaWnlLd9Wwfja1R4WU13e2XUvcInwjmMI absharma@bats12<username>@bats12

   The key's randomart image is:

   Code Block
   The key's randomart image is: +---[RSA 2048]----+ | o. . .+ .oo+| | o E o++ *oX| | o . .o .+o=O| | + . + o . =.| | = o + S = + . .| | o o o o * + . . | |. . o . | | o | | . | +----[SHA256]-----+

5. On the remove server, edit /.shh/config file as shown below. 

   Info
   title Note
   The keytest file is the one that is already installed on the SBC under authorized keys.

   Code Block
   vi ~/.ssh/config Host 10.34.194.5236 Port 2024 User linuxadmin IdentityFile /home/absharma<username>/keytest

6. Using ssh-copy-id, copy the key to the SBC:

   Code Block
   bats12:~>ssh-copy-id -i testingkey.pub -f linuxadmin@10.34.194.36 /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "testingkey.pub"

   Number of key(s) added is 1.

7. Log into the machine with "ssh 'linuxadmix@10.34.194.36'" and check to ensure that only the proper key(s) were added. 

8. On the SBC, check that no password prompt appears.

   Code Block
   bats12:~> ssh linuxadmin@10.34.194.36 Last login: Mon Dec 17 01:40:33 EST 2018 from 10.54.81.11 on ssh Sonus ConnexIP OS 06.02.00-R000 GNU/Linux linuxadmin@vsbc1:~$ exit exit
