SSH2 Authentication with OpenSsh

Hi Can anyone help resolving the issue here?

I am trying to connect from one unix server(ssh2) to another unix server using (Openssh).

I converted the public key from ssh2 to openssh format and uploaded it. Yet it is asking for a password to connect.

Here is the debug info:
