I was kind of wondering about that...

There is no need for the user profiles to have the same name on bothsystems.The key is valid for a peer of user profiles on the source system andthe target system. On the source system, the source user profile isincluded into the id_rsa.pub file at the end of the record just beforesource host name and added to the authorized keys file with mkauthkeyscommand.

When you run the command through ssh (eg ssh hmcuser@hmc), you just haveto take care of using the HMC user id for which you have added the key.For instance, for our automation needs, we use OPERATOR user id on HMCand the jobs run with QSYSOPR on the IBMi partition. The keys have beencreated with QSYSOPR.

Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L"<midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Rob, to "eliminate" the loginprompting you'll want to be sure you have got the keys imported. Ibelieve it is called "Public-key authentication" Since it is a unixthing there are probably lots of docs if googleing. the doc youreference: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019126shows the steps for importing the keys.

This is the document I was looking for but did not find it, with Google(searching with IBM i or IBMi is not easy, indeed...)

it will be important to make sure the user running the ssh commands isthe one the keys were created for. (that part always trips me up). Forinstance I created a user on the HMC with the same name as the userthat runs the ssh commands.
