I want to configure SSH key-based authentication and SSH password Authentication in same machine for different user .
View 1 RepliesI need to make a choice on what authentication protocol I want to use for Authentication and Authorization. I was looking at Radius and then literature suggested that Diameter was a better protocol. Keep in mind I need this on a hetrogeneous setup ( linux & windows together). Diameter seemed like a good fit until I discovered that the open source code no longer seems to be maintained ( C/C++).
I was also looking at Kerberos as an option though there is alot overhead with the server. SSL/TLS or EAP? I am looking for simple but secure and am new at the security protocols.

View 9 Replies View RelatedCan't seem to do it, wondering if anyone knows how? Normally there's something in sshd_config that can be switched to true or yes to allow root login but I can't see it in fedora 12.I can login via root at a terminal no problem, just not via ssh, I get access denied every time. Also, I need to login using password authentication.I've done: 227169 but that's just for GUI which I don't really need since I rarely ever log into the GUI.I have also searched through here and mostly only found info such as above, how to enable root login for GUI, or billions of posts about how logingin as root is bad but I cannotswer to my question.DISCLAIMER: Please do not reply to this thread if all you can contribute is the question of why I need root or to put some message telling me I can do everything using su, etc, etc. Please only contribute if you can answer my question. A: My machine and a valid quesiton. B: Spirit of Linux is open, not restrictive

I am about to sell a computer with ubuntu on it, and I created a user with no password and deleted my previous user. Now there is only one user account, and it has a blank password. However, any time I need root access (sudo, configuring user accounts, etc.) the system won't accept a blank password. It just says "authentication failure." Deleting my other account was silly. I am stuck with just one user account with a blank password!

I was asked to setup 802.1x Port Based Authentication for users connecting to a Managed Cisco Switch. From what I was told, it should work like this:
- User plugs workstation into switch.
- Workstation asks user for radius credentials.
- Workstation is then able to authenticate to the Radius server.
- After workstation is authenticated, the switchport then becomes unrestricted and allows the workstation to communicate on the network.

It is configured with sshd so that I can connect from anywhere (if I have Internet access.)However, there is a thing: I'd like to have good security and disable password authentication, but I also want to be able to connect from a PC that I've never touched before.

Here is what I thought: I could have a login (pieroxy) that has a moderately strong password and another user (pieroxy-ext) that has a very strong password (100+ chars.) I would use my regular account (pieroxy) whenever I have a key-based authentication and the other one (pieroxy-ext) whenever I have a password-based authentication to do. Then, I'll just su to "pieroxy" and I'm done typing the 100 chars pwd. In order to do that, I would need to be able to configure my machine so that password-based authentication is disabled for all accounts but enabled for my account that has a strong password (pieroxy-ext). Is it possible to disable password-based authentication on a user basis?
