Re: Public Key Login Problems

Hi all,

Probably a really simple problem, but I can't figure it out. I'm
trying to allow NetBeans to connect to a CVS repository on a Windows
server using ssh. The only way that NetBeans can do this is if I use
public key authentication and bypass the password requirement for ssh.


I created public/private keys using the ssh-keygen -t rsa
command (with no password). I then appended the public key to the
server's authorized_keys file. From what I understand, this should
allow me to connect securely without having to type a password, but
alas, it doesn't. Every time I try to connect it asks for my
password.

What gives and how do I fix it?

Install the Putty software bundle, available from links at www.openssh.com,
and use the "Pageant" tool to manage live SSH keys. Then look up the public
notes on Pagent and CVS and SSH.
