Hello folks,
Here I would like to
give steps to build a SSH connection between two Linux hosts.
Example hosts:
abc.com & xyz.com
- Login to abc.com
- Navigate to "$cd .ssh/" directory from root. Incase the directory is not available simply create it in root "/".
- Execute the following command "ssh-keygen -t rsa"
- Change the permissions to "id_rsa.pub" file "chmod 600 id_rsa.pub"
- Do cat id_rsa.pub and copy the content.
- Create "authorized_keys" file in same directory. Do vi and paste the content. If file is already exist paste the content at bottom of the file.
- Create "authorized_keys" file in .ssh/ directory in remote host (xyz.com). Do vi and paste the content.
- Perform steps 1 to 6 in remote host (xyz.com) and copy the content in "id_rsa.pub" and paste it in "authorized_keys" file in remote host(abc.com).
- Execute the following command to check the SSH connection.
- Login to abc.com
- $ssh xyz.com (First time it will ask password to login xyz.com)
- Execute same command in xyz.com to check ssh connection to abc.com.
Hope this post will
useful.
