Copy the public key to the cluster

Log in to the cluster and open the file $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys with a text editor

This file should have the reading and writing permission only for you, the owner of the file (-rw-------). Otherwise, you can change the permission with the command

chmod 600 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

Moba ssh keys copy0.png

Copy the public key to the file $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on the cluster

The next time you start the session, enter the passphrase to log in to the cluster

Moba ssh keys copy1.png

Add SSH key to MobAgent for auto login

Go to Configuration

Moba ssh agent setup0.png

Enable Use internal SSH agent "MobAgent" and Forward SSH agents

Click the plus sign to select the private key

Moba ssh agent setup1.png

Restart MobaXterm to apply the modifications.
