PuTTY
Messages
Messages like the ones below may display during PuTTY (or similar package) operation, depending on
the package that you selected.
Message
:
Server refused key
Meaning
: You can connect to a secure telnet session using password authentication, but when you try
to connect using public key authentication, you receive a “
Server refused our key
” message on the client
(PuTTy) session. For example, you generated a public/private key (using Puttygen) and saved them,
loaded the client public key into the IONMM via TFTP, and enabled SSH. The PuTTY SSH Authentication
pointed to the saved private key. You set the auto-log on user name to root as suggested, but when you
activated PuTTY, after 20-30 seconds, the refusal message displayed and PuTTY reverted back to pass-
word authentication (the default).
Recovery
:
1.
When generating using
puttyGen.exe
, select the SSH2 keys – do not select the SSH1 keys.
2.
Log in to PuTTy as ‘
root
’ with the public key authentication.
3.
Use the online helps and documentation to set up Putty as suggested.
4.
See the “
PuTTY
” section notes.
