Problem with SSH keys

Martin_92 — Thu, 08 Jan 2004 09:16:47 GMT

On managed node is installed SSH and created "user" (mkpasswd -d -u UserXXX DomainXXX >>...). When I tried to copy the SSH generated public key from the CMS to the managed node (mxagentconfig -g Username=UserXXX), the "Failed to establish connection to..." message appears.
In node event log are two Informational events:
Source: sshd
- Accepted password for UserXXX from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 3226 ssh2.
- sshd : PID 3636 : subsystem request for sftp.

Where can be the problem?

The HP SIM was installed under domain account "DomainXXX\UserXXX", this account is member of Administrators group on managed node.

Thanks for help.

What operating systems are involved?

What account on the CMS are you logged in as when you run mxagentconfig?

The log seems to indicate that everything worked, interestingly enough. What is then failing after this?

Both CMS and managed node are Windows 2003 Standard Edition with all security patches installed.

I'm logged as domain user (Member of local Administrators group on both servers, SIM service is running in context of this account).

What is SSH comunication between CMS and managed node required for? How can I find, if communication (transfer of public key) is OK?
