6.5. Accessing the IPA Server via SSH

After configuring client authentication, you should be able to use SSH to connect to the IPA server without being prompted for a password.

Procedure 6.7. To test for correct SSH connectivity to the IPA server:

  1. Obtain a Kerberos ticket for the admin user.

    # kinit admin

  2. If you have a valid Kerberos ticket, SSH should proceed with GSSAPI authentication without asking for a password:

    # ssh admin@ipaserver.example.com
