Title: SSH Windows client: unable to use user public key feature
Post by: Pascal Van Hecke on February 04, 2003, 12:09:00 AM

Hi,

I'm using SSH Secure Shell version 3.2.2 from http://www.ssh.com/.
I  connected to SME server (version 5.6) as root, then generated a public/private key pair and uploaded my public key to the server.
I checked /root/.ssh2/ and there was indeed a file authorization with

key keyname.pub

and a file called keyname.pub, as predicted in the help.

Still, when I set "Allow secure shell access using standard passwords" to "No" in  the Remote Access configuration, I am not able anymore to login as root using my SSH Windows client.

I searched through the archives but found no similar situation.  Has any of you experienced the same trouble?

Regards,

pascal van hecke

Extra info: the error message the client displays is:

Server responded "No further authentication methods available.".
No more authentication methods available.
