I didn’t get anything to fix it. I just tried rerunning the code block I posted earlier and it worked this morning.
resolved
Just for a quick testing of logins with the keys directly into the servers and through bastion host,
I created a test server at 128.194.6.201 and inserted UTAH people’s keys into accounts (same usernames for FABRIC) and they can log into this server directly with their ssh-keys.
eg.
ssh -i <SSH_KEY_PRIVATE_PORTION> austinhk_0051496666@128.194.6.201
Once they can login to this server, next step can be to test logins through the bastion host.
eg.
ssh -i <SSH_KEY_PRIVATE_PORTION> -J austinhk_0051496666@bastion-1.fabric-testbed.net austinhk_0051496666@128.194.6.201
If they are able to log in, they can also view the public key we insert to these servers (bastion host and the test server)
eg.
[austinhk_0051496666@Node0 ~]$ cat .ssh/authorized_keys
ssh-rsa
< your public key should show here >
^ I went through this process and successfully got my public key
