SCP to F5 question
Hi everyone,
Very basic stuff question for sure.., I'm writing a script to backup UCS config files regularly from a UNIX system through SCP. I have generated a private/public key pair with ssh-keygen on my server for root account and copied the id_rsa.pub key in the "authorized_keys" file on target F5 (BIG-IP 1600) to avoid being prompted for password.
However, it is not working. Everytime I run the scp commnad I'm asked for the root password. Is root login through SSH disabled in F5?, what am I doing wrong?
Activating the debug option on scp I'm getting this trace
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive,hostbased debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /root/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive,hostbased debug1: Trying private key: /root/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Password: debug1: Authentication succeeded (keyboard-interactive). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< and the remote copy completes OK.
Any ideas?, Thanks in advance,
Moog
