Re: SSH key setup

Hello Justin,

On Win7, I created a file c:\users\user_name_here\.ssh\authorized_keys, but it did not do anything. RDi still gives the same SSH error and ACS "SSH Terminal" still prompts me for my password.

I forgot to say that I copied from IBMi the contents of my ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub into the authorized_keys file on Windows.

I don't know much Windows and even less RDi. But if you want to connect RDi on Windows (over an ssh tunnel connection) to IBM i, you need your *private key* on your Windows Box (Maybe configured within RDi? Dunno.), while the *public key* goes to the IBM i home directory as you laid out. See also my message (ID 50ECC357-5443-427D-BEB5-EFE33FAC8694@xxxxxxxxxx) to Jim.

If it still doesn't work: I don't know where ssh on IBM i logs it's messages but there is the next place to search for more information about why's-not-working.
