ssh public key authentication

[stbalthazor]

I have setup private key authentication on other servers before but seem to be having issues setting it up in the hard hat environment.

I have created a .ssh folder in the root (/) folder with permissions of 700; I have created an authorized_keys2 file in the .ssh folder with permissions of 600; I have put my key into the authorized_keys2 file. When I attempt to connect via ssh and use this key my client shows that I am passing the key to the server, but the server is not accepting it for some reason.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

Hey Steve,

SSH key auth used to work on our servers, but recently stopped working. Our hosting software vendor, Sphera, tightened up security and changed a setting to not allow the authentication. I will look into it again and see if it is something we can enable.

Steve,

Try it now...I change the setting and it should work for you.

Hi,

I am not sure whether no news is good news or bad news in this case. Did you ever get public key authentication working ?

I need to use it for my applications.

Thanks,

Daniel

Please submit a ticket and let us know what your account "username" is. We can make sure the settings on that particular server will allow for it.
