!!!! Read before starting: if ansible run as root >>>>> use root's id_rsa file !!!!
1- create the Private key & Public key ( .pub) on the Client: ssh-keygen
2- copy the public key to the server: ssh-copy-id or just a sftp
3- To set up SSH agent to avoid retyping passwords, you can do:
4- SSH test ( will ask for the passphrase once!)
5- check the Local keys:
6- check the Remote keys:
1- create the private & Public key on the Client:
ssh-keygen ( press enter + enter the passphrase )
RSA:
-Asymmetric Encryption: Private and Public key
-#Diffie-Hellman
-2,048 bits (or 617 decimal digits )
-Rivest-Shamir-Adleman
Private Key: AES-128-CBC ???
AES:
-Symmetric Encryption Algorithms
-Block cipher ( 128-bit block message + 128-bit key) >> 128-bit cipher text
- Advanced Encryptiuon Standard
2- copy the public key to the server:
ssh-copy-id ansible@192.168.99.11
or just copy the file using ( if ssh-copy-id not supported ):
sftp
ansible@192.168.99.11
( then put /project/id_rsa.pub /var/home/ansible/id_rsa.pub )
( or with sftp tool like mobaxterm )
Check: after the ssh-copy-id, on the remote server: before/after ( /root/.ddh or /home/<username>/.ssh/ ) |

3- To set up SSH agent to avoid retyping passwords, you can do:
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_getting_started.html
$ ssh-agent bash
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa #here you load the Private key to be used
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.
[root@hp8300 ~]# ssh-add -l
2048 48:54:e7:a8:d8:cf:79:23:0d:f7:dd:9a:fc:6c:c5:d3 /root/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.
[root@hp8300 ~]# ssh-add -L
