Hi, I am looking for input on how to set up an ssh key-based authentication.
I generated an RSA key pair with puttygen and added it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 => confirmed that I can login with putty. Now, I specify the same private key in x2goclient (windows). I enter my password and I am then prompted for the password of the ssh key. I enter it and the same ssh key password prompt reappears. This seems to be an infinite loop. When I cancel it, I get a message saying that only publickey is supported as login method (which corresponds to my sshd_config settings).
I then tried renaming ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and using a DSA key pair. putty still works as expected with both of these alternatives. x2goclient still shows the same problems however. It only lets me login if I adapt my sshd_config and authenticate via user / password combination.
Is this a known limitation? What is the best way to achieve high security? Can I limit the x2go connections to only LAN IPs (without restricting the pure ssh connections)?
I have just forwarded this issue to our bug tracker. I have observed
similar irregularities that desperately need a fix.
