domainuser only with key authentification

Post by immo_we »

hi,

we just started evaluation phase but found some strange thing.
we added our domain to the config and set allow key auth.
from that point on domain accounts can only login with keys the password mode is removed from the list of allowed authentification modes.

The users local adminsitrated in coreftp are able to login.
but not the domain users anymore.
Any Idea how to solve this ?

furthermore we need a solution to have a list of privat keys for one account.
and where can we store the keys for domain users ?

The only way to do it for domain users would be to create a "group" (under user settings). You could alternatively create one user that has these settings and then select it under the "Core FTP base user".

For this user you could put all keys into one pub key file (one per line).

You may also need to use the "use base directory + username" option, if the domain users do not have a local directory defined under the domain's root directory.

Thanks CP,
thats may be a solution for part two of my question.

Does anybody know what the reason for my real problem is:
>> domain accounts can only login with keys the password mode is removed from the list of allowed authentification modes.

I don't think there is an option for domain (Windows accounts) users in this scenario if you are using key authentication only. Their public key would need to be in the keys file.
