Serge Huber commented on KARAF-6058:
------------------------------------
Well the problem is that in this ticket the example uses DSA and in the
documentation (https://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/security) as well :)
> Even key based auth enabled, ssh still prompt for password

> Key: KARAF-6058
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-6058
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: karaf
> Affects Versions: 4.1.7
> Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
> Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.1.8, 4.2.3
>
>
> It's documented at:
> http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/#_managing_authentication_by_key
> I cannot get it work and wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Steps I did
> to test the feature:
> {code}
> ssh-keygen -t dsa -f karaf.id_dsa # enter nothing for the passphrase
> {code}
> {code}
> # add a "karaf" entry with the generated public key
> vi apache-karaf-4.1.7/etc/keys.properties
> # start Karaf
> apache-karaf-4.1.7/bin/karaf server
> # try to connect without providing a password
> ssh -p 8101 -i ./karaf.id_dsa karaf@localhost
> Password authentication
> Password:
> {code}
> So it still prompts for a password... the public/private key-pair approach
> doesn't work in Karaf 4.1.7 :-(
> I tried 4.1.5, 4.1.6, it also does not work. However, same approach works
> fine in 4.0.10.
