I am having difficulty with public key authentication between a Putty client on
one host and a SSH-Textia Windows server on another host.
Public key authentication fails, but Password authentication always works. I
suspect the problem is that my userid on the host
that the Putty client is running is a member of one domain and the userid on
the Remote Windows client is a member of a different
domain.
I generated both RSA and DSA keys using "puttygen" and ftp'd in Ascii first and
then Binary to %D/.ssh2 on the Windows host. I then added
the keys to the "authorization" file with the format "Key publickeyname". I
was able to public key authenticate fine when the
Windows SSH-Textia server was on the same host with the Putty client using this
same scenario.
Should I be able to connect with the same userid on multiple domains and public
key authenticate from a Putty client on one host to a
Windows SSH-Textia server on another host?
The following message from the server log says it all, however I am unclear on
how to solve it?
1488:Ssh2AuthPubKeyServer: Received public key (type ssh-dss) not authorized by
