HP SIM and SSH

I've been trying to identify systems with SSH without having to deal with passwords at all but it keeps trying to authenticate using passwords.

Upon building a server I add the ssh keys to both /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 but SIM always tries to discover a system using passwords.

==> /var/log/secure <==

Sep 27 11:03:07 sandbox16 sshd[10280]: Received disconnect from x.x.x.x: 11: The user disconnected the application

Sep 27 11:03:20 sandbox16 sshd[11508]: Received disconnect from x.x.x.x: 11: The user disconnected the application

I'm sure I'm missing something here and I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.
