ssh-copy-id is copying my public key but I still need to enter my credentials when logging in to IAE

I'm trying to setup passwordless ssh access to my cluster.

I've used ssh-copy-id clsadmin@my-clusterhostname and entered the cluster password when promoted. The output from ssh-copy-id shows:

Number of key(s) added: 1

However, when I try to ssh into the cluster, I'm prompted for my password. If I log in to the cluster, I can see the key has been added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Why is passwordless ssh not working after these steps?

Solution

  • The problem seemed to be because I had used a DSA key. After creating a RSA key and copying that to the cluster, I was able to login over ssh without entering my credentials.
