How to SSH from RouterOS to a Linux host without password ?

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I’d like to connect from a RouterOS device to a remote Linux host without entering any password.
I’ve read [1] and tried the command bellow without success.

Before entering this command from RouterOS 6.48.5 terminal, I uploaded on my RouterOS device, both id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files from my own PC.
Then I entered:

/user ssh-keys private import user=lala private-key-file=id_rsa
  1. Is it possible to SSH from RouterOS to a remote host ?
  2. How do you generate/import necessary SSH keys ?

Best regards

Looking at 7.4-beta4, I read:

*) ssh - fixed host key generation (introduced in v7.3);

It seems to me that what I’m looking for requires 7.3 (or 7.4 beta4), right ?

New manual is here, and has all the details:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/SSH#SSH-Log-inusingRSApublic/privatekey

No, the changelog just says that specifically in 7.3 there was a bug, which was fixed. 7.2.1 still works ok

OK thanks
