the identity.pub contents need to be in a file named ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on later versions of openssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on some of the earlier version that supported protocol 2 keys. Also the perms on the file has to be pretty tight with no group write IIRC. Try that and get back to us.
