See It is asking for password

RSA keys are very much right here but still issue to login.

SOLUTION:

selinux is enabled so please disable selinux.

vi /etc/selinux/config


# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.

SELINUX=enforcing   ----> change to disabled

# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

[root@localhost ~]# selinuxenabled 0
[root@localhost ~]# setenforce 0
[root@localhost ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   permissive
Mode from config file:          disabled
Policy version:                 24
Policy from config file:        targeted
