Configuring SSH authentication between servers

Create SSH keys to allow RICOH ProcessDirector to move files between servers while it is running and configure the SSH authentication between servers.
  1. On the lead primary server:
    1. Log in as the aiw1 user.
    2. Open a command prompt and type: 
      ssh-keygen -q -P "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-copy-id -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" aiw1@alternateprimary_hostname
ssh-copy-id -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" aiw1@UIserver_hostname
  2. On the alternate primary server:
    1. Log in as the aiw1 user.
    2. Open a command prompt and type: 
      ssh-keygen -q -P "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-copy-id -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" aiw1@leadprimary_hostname
ssh-copy-id -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" aiw1@UIserver_hostname
  3. On the UI server:
    1. Log in as the aiw1 user.
    2. Open a command prompt and type: 
      ssh-keygen -q -P "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-copy-id -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" aiw1@leadprimary_hostname
ssh-copy-id -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" aiw1@alternateprimary_hostname
where leadprimary_hostname is the host name of the lead primary server, alternateprimary_hostname is the host name of the alternate primary server, and the UIserver_hostname is the host name of the UI server.
