Configuring SSH Login without Password
Note
Before you begin ensure that you have configured SSH login without password.
By default, Secure Socket Shell (SSH) requires a password for authentication on a remote server. This setting needs to be modified to allow you to login to the remote host through the SSH protocol, without having to enter your SSH password multiple times when working with SnappyData.
To install and configure SSH, do the following:
-
Install SSH
To install SSH, type:sudo apt-get install ssh
Mac OS X has a built-in SSH client. -
Generate an RSA key pair
To generate an RSA key pair run the following command on the client computer,ssh-keygen -t rsa
Press Enter when prompted to enter the file in which to save the key, and for the pass phrase. -
Copy the Public Key
Once the key pair is generated, copy the contents of the public key file, to the authorized key on the remote site, by typingcat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
