@syedshakir This is most probably ssh is not setup properly. You can try below steps.

1. On the Oozie Server host run the command:

   ps -ef| grep oozie

2. Identify the user that runs the Oozie server. For example, the user is oozie

3. Modify /etc/passwd file to edit the user oozie

4. Change:

   oozie:x:485:483:Oozie User:/var/lib/oozie:/bin/false

    to: 

   oozie:x:485:483:Oozie User:/var/lib/oozie:/bin/bash

   Note: This will enable the user oozie to login.

5. In the command prompt switch user as oozie:

   su - oozie

6. Verify that the user is switched by executing the command:

   id

7. Execute ssh-keygen:

   ​Note:Do not give any password. This generates Public and Private Key for passwordless authentication and saves it in the Oozie user's home directory.

   ssh-keygen

8. Execute ssh-copy-id to copy the public key to user’s home directory in the remote host. This user will be the one that runs ssh commands in remote host:

   ssh-copy-id -i /home/oozie/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]

9. Test by executing ssh without a password to confirm a successful authentication:

   ssh [email protected]

10. Run the Oozie workflow and verify success.
