SSH automatic logon works for one user but not the other

  • 772

I want to enable automatic ssh login using the .ssh/config file for my git user.

Here is my .ssh/config file:

Host test
    HostName myserver.net
    User test
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host git
    HostName myserver.net
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

It works for my test user but not for my git user so my global SSH configuration is correct.

The configuration are exactly the same as far as I know. It used to work with git user but I'm unable what change has broken the automatic logon.

When I type:

ssh -v git

I get the following log:

...
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
Offering RSA public key: /Users/mylocalusername/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
debug1: Next authentication method: password
[email protected]'s password: _

Does anyone know what could be a possible difference

ssh

    Check the log on the server to see why it doesn't accept the user's key. You may need to change the log level in sshd_config to

    LogLevel DEBUG

    and restart sshd.
