Lab - SSL & TLS Basics Q 8 Error

hi @Ayman / @vijin.palazhi / @mmumshad

In Lab SSL & TLS Basics Q8 there is requirement to copy the public key so that ssh woudl be password less . I have two questions here

  1. Even though the commands in the hints work I still get a error / warning although the ssh is succeful . Why do I get this error ?

thor@jump_host /$ ssh -i mykey thor@app01
Warning: Identity file mykey not accessible: No such file or directory.


Q2 : How can we verify the login using only mykey and not by existing keys id_rsa and id_rsa.pub
In default way of login I do not get this warning / error . 

It appears to me default login to app01 from thor is using id_rsa and there is no error / warning like in Q1
