There can many be situations wherein we login to a destination machine with a different username than the source machine.
To exchange ssh keys between different users is easy with the ssh-copy-id command.
In this example, I have users user1 & user2 on source & destination servers.
I've generated ssh keys for user1 on the source server. Now, I want to login to destination server as user2 without being prompted for a password.
To do this I need to run the command ssh-copy-id <destination user>@<destination server>
When we do this what happens is that on the destination server, the authorized_keys file for the destination user gets updated with the keys of the source user on source server:
