For those of you who are as lazy as I am, and don’t want to type in and remember all kinds of different passwords for different hosts, it is the solution. One of OpenSSH’s great features is ssh public key authentication.

Where is ssh on mac password#
I read in some forums that we can use keychain to save the pvt key password and it will pass on the password to next sessions. When you edit the file, make sure it is 'Plain Text' using the menu at the top of the screen and clicking Format -> Make Plain Text. If it says that file doesnt exist, create it with: touch config. I ran the ssh login using verbose to see whats going on when pagent is not running…the difference is that on WIN when pagent is not running and on MAC all the time…once the authentication method is determined as keyboard interactive and public key…WIN machines offers public key…whereas MAC and WIN without pagent running will skip and look for pvt key id_rsa instead which is not available on the intermediate host LINUXJump and fails. Now open the file config with the default editor: open -t config. Doesnt make sense as I can directly ssh to LINUX1 from both MAC and WIN hosts. I observed that when pagent is not running both the MAC and WIN have the same issue. I am getting similar error when I am stopping the pagent on WIN machine and trying to ssh from WIN to LINUXJump and then to LINUX1. From MAC box, although I am able to ssh to LINUXJump host…but when I want to ssh to LINUX1 from LINUXJump host…I am getting an error indicating “permission denied (public key)". This application is Terminal, which you can usually find by heading to your Applications folder and looking inside Utilities, though there are a few ways to open Terminal on a Mac. From WIN box (using Putty with pagent), everything is fine…I am able to login to LINUX1 after getting onto the LINUXJump host. You Mac comes with an application that will let you access and run SSH built into it. The ssh command has an easy way to make use of bastion hosts to connect to a remote host with a single command. I have no issues logging in using ssh from WIN and MAC directly to LINUX1 host…but when I use the LINUXJump box as an intermediate host to ssh to LINUX1…I have a problem.
Now I have another LINUXJump box which can be used as an intermediate jump box to ssh to LINUX1 from either MAC or WIN hosts.
I am required to login to a SSH enabled server LINUX1 from both these MAC and WIN boxes. I have a WIN and a MAC box as SSH clients.
