Re: [CentOS] PKA help

I also want to use PKA for other users accounts on the servers (for

...

website editing and SFTP transfers) where my id on my laptop does NOT match the user on the server.

Since you've already generated an SSH key pair, you can add the public portion of your key to the authorized_keys file for each of the accounts to which you will be connecting. For example, say I have two accounts on a server, jleafey and webapps. All I would need to do is to concatenate the public key (id_rsa.pub) to the .ssh/authorized_keys file for each of those accounts. I would then specify the username when I connect, i.e. "ssh webapps@server" or "ssh jleafey@server".

ah ha, I can cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for each user account on the server

Thank you!
