Enabling or disabling SSH server authentication methods:
The SLP SSH server supports two authentication methods for security and validation:
Password
and
Keyboard-Interactive
.
Password
is an authentication method where the SSH client gathers
username/password credentials and makes the authentication request to the SSH
server with the credentials. The Password method is controlled by the SSH client.
Keyboard-Interactive
is an authentication method where the SSH server controls an
information field followed by one or more prompts requesting credential information
from the SSH client. The client gathers credential information keyed-in by the user and
sends it back to the server. The Keyboard-Interactive method is controlled by the SSH
server.
Individual enabling and disabling of the Password and Keyboard-Interactive
authentication methods are supported to allow an SSH client to be forced to use a
specific method. Although both methods are available, by enabling the Keyboard-
Interactive method and disabling the Password method, the SSH client is forced to
used Keyboard-Interactive, which is required to display the login banner.
Note
: At least one authentication method must be enabled.
