KEY Based Auth

Centos/RedHat Server password less authentication

Using Centos 7

First Login to your Server

Generate Authentication keys

Authentication key cmds

[root@rserver8 ~]# ssh-keygen

Once you had executed the command

So, authorized keys are generated go to ~/.ssh/ directory or cd .ssh/

2 keys had generated

Id_rsa and id_rsa.pub

1/14
Using cat cmd display id_rsa.pub keys

[root@rserver8 .ssh]# cat id_rsa.pub

Copy this key

Create new authorized_keys file

So, using vi or vim cmd we can create

[root@rserver8 .ssh]# vi authorized_keys

Paste it here id_rsa.pub keys which you have copied using cat id_rsa.pub

Chmod 600 sets permissions so that, user / owner can read, can write and can’t execute.
Group can’t read, can’t write and can’t execute. others can’t read, can’t write and can’t

So, I had created the authorized_keys now assign the permission to this particular user

So in my case root is the owner you can create user and assign the privileges

2/14
[root@rserver8 .ssh]# chmod 600 authorized_keys

So, now need to copy private key

Again, go to .ssh folder

[root@rserver8 ~]# cd .ssh/

[root@rserver8 .ssh]# cat id_rsa

Copy this and paste it to any text editor

And save it to .ppk format

Now to to ssh_config and disable password authentication login

So, once authentication done restart the sshd services (Secure Shell or Secure Socket
Shell).

[root@rserver8 .ssh]# sudo systemctl restart sshd

I am saving private key in notepad text editor .ppk format
