As noted on the very sparse documentation for SSHD, it does not aim at being a drop-in replacement for either the os provided ssh client or ssh server, nor provide a console.
When using SSHD, you would usually plug an authentication mechanism of your choice, like jaas, jsecurity. If you want to use files / ldap, i would suggest to use JAAS and use an existing login module to provide file or ldap based jaas. If you are looking for a shell with all kind of commands, you may be looking for gshell http://cwiki.apache.org/GSHELL/ If you want to use OSGi, i'd look at Karaf (it was named Apache ServiceMix Kernel until a few days ago) which embeds gshell and sshd (http://servicemix.apache.org/kernel/). Actually, if you want to just *use* something, Karaf might be the best choice. 2009/4/27 Carsten Krüger <[email protected]>: > Hello, > > is it easily possible with Apache SSHD to use OS independant users for > example configured via file or from ldap? > Is it possible to present to the users a virtual filesystem for sftp? > A virtual minimal shell would be nice, too. > For example only: > ls > cd > md > rd > mv > md5sum > within the virtual filesystem. > > greetings > Carsten > > -- Cheers, Guillaume Nodet ------------------------ Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/ ------------------------ Open Source SOA http://fusesource.com
