Shell app needs password when ssh the login node

Hi and welcome!

It’s not an Open OnDemand thing. You need to setup sshd to allow for HostbasedAuthentication and generate some key pairs. This setups some sort of trust between 2 or more servers saying “if you’ve logged into one of them, you can login to the other directly”.

Of course we use lots of automation (puppet) to manage all the key pairs and known_hosts files.
