I need to establish SSH keys between two users on the same IBMi system. This is for my own testing. I have done this before with data exchanges between my IBMi and a Unix server, although I did not install the keys on the Unix server (they have their own administrator). I dont have the luxury of having a Unix server to test with today, so I have to figure out a way to test on my own, and I am a little confused on how these key pairs work.
I have two user profiles, my own and a test user profile on my IBMi. I generated key pairs by calling QP2TERM and executing ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "", which generated id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. Now what? With the Unix scenario I sent the id_rsa.pub file to the administrator, and that was that. Do I have to create an authorized_keys file in the .ssh folder?
Any help is appreciated (I have very little Unix expericence...)
Thanks!
