Can I use RSA authentication with NI-Auth?

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm writing some backup/restore scripts for my cRIO. I want to get rid of all the ssh/scp password prompts in the scripts, but that requires generating an RSA key pair and adding it to ssh-agent. I think NI replaced ssh-agent with niauth_daemon. How do I use RSA keys with it?

You can still use pubkey authentication in the normal ways (for example drop your key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys). NI Auth only affects password-based authentication.
