Fedora, where to put my ssh keys to login?

Question

I am trying to redirect my site from https://localhost (but written with the ip, like https://10.0.7.8) to another https location like https://mysite.com

My current configuration is:

<rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Rewrite to mysite.com" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="(.*)" />
      <action type="Redirect" url="https://mysite.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
      <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="https://10.0.7.8*" />
      </conditions>
     </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>

And when I am accessing https://10.0.7.8 it does not go to https://mysite.com, it stays on https://10.0.7.8

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Solution

You can use the option -i to specify to ssh which identity file it should use.

Also have you checked with ssh - v what really happen? I mean the keys are really not used or are they used but doesn't match?

Have you checked all the permissions? The .ssh directory must be 700 (drwx------), the authorized_keys file must be 644 or 640 or 600 (-rw-r--r-- or -rw-r----- or -rw-------), and your home directory must not be group-writable. If you can't figure out whether the permissions are correct, post the output of ls -ld ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server and ls -ld ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/id_rsa on the client.

This is correct. I did have appropriate permissions on the .ssh directory. That fixed it. Also, can you tell me what file actually gets checked? is it the authorized_keys or the id_rsa.pub file?

[Gilles 'SO- stop being evil']

The id_rsa.pub file is never read by ssh (but it's useful to keep it around to easily determine where a public key is coming from). The server reads authorized_keys and the client needs id_rsa.

[Startec]

when you say "to keep around" - if I set up keys on another computer I just append the key to the existing id_rsa.pub and authorized_keys files correct? Is ssh somehow able to parse the files to read the different keys?

[Gilles 'SO- stop being evil']

The SSH server reads authorized_keys. To authorize multiple keys, just append the .pub files to it. Each line in that file represents one authorized key.
