How To Configure SSH key based authentication
A very convenient method of logging in via ssh is to use a priv/pub key pair. The advantages are even more apparent when we sometimes have to connect using scripts that automate various actions for us. We can quickly and easily configure auto-origination based on priv/pub asymmetric key cryptography.
Generate private ant public key pair:
user@host1:~$ ssh-keygen
Send public key to remote host:
user@host1:~$ ssh-copy-id user@host2
Connect to remote host over private-=public key pair veryfication:
user@host1:~$ ssh host2
