I have done a password less ssh configuration between Linux/Unix , Windows and Unix. But first time I am configuring between HP-UX and Windows 2003.

For configuring, I installed OpenSSH(client & server) at the Windows 2003 machine and generated the key at HP-UX and placed the key at the Windows 2003 machine users homedirectory/.ssh

I'm trying the execute the ssh for executing command on Windows 2003 from the HP-UX as I am expected it have to run without password, but it is asking for password.

If you generated the keypair without a pass phrase then check the configuration of your windows sshd. Ensure that PubkeyAuthentication is yes (or not defined as the default is yes). You can force public key authentication by disabling password login, PasswordAuthentication No.

If this doesn't help then please post the output of ssh -v user@host.tld as an update to your question.

This looks to me like you don't have a private key file in /homed400213/.ssh/... – Iain♦ Aug 25 '11 at 14:26
