SSH connect problem
Hi,
I know that I'm a little off the right forum but it seems like there is more experience and knowledge among Unix/Linux users than among Windows users in this case. I have seen many similar explanations on how to set up the public keys in Unix but nothing that I've tried of the Windows tips have worked - maybe there is some problem in my environment. Maybe there is someone here that is expert on both Unix and Windows in this case.
I have some problems regarding the use of SSH(and also being a newbie in the SSH world). I have an application that uses SSH but when I want to use public key authentication. The server is a Win2003 server with F-Secure SSH server 5.3. I'm logged in as administrator and the administrator have started the F-secure server.
When trying to log in on the server I get "no more authentication methods available" and that is quite easy to understand why I get - I have created a keypair in the application but I have no idea where to put the public key on the server. As I understand it is to be put in .ssh-folder but where is that supposed to be?
I have found many similar descriptions on how to put the .pub file on a Unix/Linux computer but when it comes to Windows there isn't much to find.
When checking the F-secure server configuration it says that user key directory is %D\.ssh but I don't know what %D is supposed to be. The authorization file is called authorization but I haven't found any such file in the computer. I have tried to create and put the created key inside it and moving it around to different locations but without success.
Can anyone tell me where to put my public key and hopefully get it to work?
Regards,
Kalle

pam_ssh
PAM_SSH(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAM_SSH(8)
NAME
pam_ssh -- authentication and session management with SSH private keys
DESCRIPTION
The SSH authentication service module for PAM, pam_ssh provides functionality for two PAM categories: authentication and session management.
SSH Authentication Module
The SSH authentication component verifies the identity of a user by prompting the user for a passphrase and verifying that it can decrypt at
least one of the user's SSH login keys using that passphrase.
The following options may be passed to the authentication module:
debug syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.
use_first_pass If the authentication module is not the first in the stack, and a previous module obtained the user's password, then
that password is used to decrypt the user's SSH login keys. If this fails, then the authentication module returns
failure without prompting the user for a passphrase.
try_first_pass Similar to the use_first_pass option, except that if the previously obtained password fails to decrypt any of the SSH
login keys, then the user is prompted for an SSH passphrase.
try_first_pass has no effect if pam_ssh is the first module on the stack, or if no previous modules obtained the
user's password.
allow_blank_passphrase Allow SSH keys with no passphrase.
If neither use_first_pass nor try_first_pass is specified, pam_ssh will unconditionally ask for an SSH passphrase.
In addition to the above authentication procedure, all standard SSH keys (identity, id_rsa, id_dsa) for which the obtained password matches
will be decrypted.
SSH Session Management Module
The SSH session management component initiates sessions by starting an SSH agent, passing it any SSH login keys it decrypted during the
authentication phase, and sets the environment variables accordingly.
The SSH session management component terminates the session by killing the previously started SSH agent by sending it a SIGTERM.
The following options may be passed to the session management module:
debug syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.
INFORMATION LEAKS
Be careful with the using the try_first_pass option when pam_ssh is the first authentication module because it will then leak information
about existing users without login keys: such users will not be asked for a specific SSH passphrase, whereas non-existing users and existing
users with login keys will be asked for a passphrase.
FILES
$HOME/.ssh/identity
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa OpenSSH DSA/RSA keys decrypted by pam_ssh.
$HOME/.ssh/login-keys.d/ Location of (possibly symbolic links to) OpenSSH DSA/RSA keys used for authentication and decrypted by pam_ssh.
/var/log/auth.log Usual log file for syslog(3)
SEE ALSO
