SSH connection to iLo with publickey authentication failure

Adrian Hernandez B — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 18:04:16 GMT

I've been trying for several days now to configure a workstation to connect to iLo2 using using ssh public key authentication, I want to do this to automate virtual power management into a script.

Here is how the connection fails:

user@localhost:~$ ssh -vi /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 192.168.1.3

user@localhost:~$

I'm creating my keys with:
user@local:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -F /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts

I tried the configuration recommended for PuTTY in HP's guide for this process and that worked like a charm, which means that the iLo is indeed authenticating with public key, so I'm thinking it must be some setting that I'm missing with OpenSSH.

Any help would be appreciated.

sorry for necroposting, but i have the same problem, i have configured the keys, but when i try to connect with:

ssh -v -i path/to/my/key.ppk -o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa,ssh-dss -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -o Ciphers=aes128-cbc,3des-cbc -o MACs=hmac-md5,hmac-sha1 usr@ilo

i get:

debug1: Authentications that can continue: password,publickey
debug1: Next authentication method: password

Hello,

Im facing the same problem on ILO2.

I've added my RSA key to ILO2 using the ILO2 web interface.

But upon connecting:

ssh -o MACs=hmac-sha1 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa 192.168.1.221 -v
