Azure Cloud Shell : Permission denied (publickey)


I am trying to access a VM created with the ssh file and when i tried to execute the command , i am getting the following error,

ssh azureuser@publicIpAddress

I get this error

Permission denied (publickey)

and i am not able to connect to VM. any idea where is the problem?


Solution

  • I had the same issue in the past, Please try with the below command which explicitly specifies which key to use.

    ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa azureuser@yourpublicip
    

    where .ssh/id is the key that you generated
