I´ve been trying to log in to a VM running Ubuntu in Azure from OS X through SSH verification. But when I try to connect to the virtual machine I get a Permission denied (publickey) error.
To create the key-pair certificate I did it through the terminal using the following steps:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 \
-newkey rsa:2048 \
-keyout example1.key \
-out example1.pem
Then I set the permissions:
chmod 600 example1.key
Both files are in my User folder.
During the VM creation I uploaded the file example1.pem.
After creating the VM, I try to connect using the following command:
ssh -v -i myPrivateKey.key -p 22 [email protected]
This is the output I get:

I have tried using the VIP instead of the VM name, but I get the same output. I have looked all over the internet for an answer of what's going on here but I have found no solutions to my problem.
