I have been trying to log on to my Azure server's Virtual Machine that's running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for hours. I would appreciate it a lot if someone could help me.

  1. I generated new ssh keys

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com" ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

  2. I generated a .pem file

    openssl req -x509 -new -days 365 -key id_rsa -out id_rsa.x509req.pem

  3. I tried to log in with ssh

    ssh thistimeinst.cloudapp.net -vvv

But it asks for a password, but I didn't input any password when creating the keys.

This is the log

maxuimbp:.ssh max$ ssh mywebsite.cloudapp.net -v

max@mywebsite.cloudapp.net's password:

I thought I did everything perfectly. Does anyone know why this is happening to me?

It's not asking for a password for the key, it's asking for a password for the account your trying to log on to as the key based methods have failed.

    Thank you lain, the problem was that I was doing `ssh mymusic.cloudapp.net` but I should've done `ssh username@mymusic.cloudapp.net` – Maximus S Jun 14 '14 at 09:17
