Hi Stefan,

Thank you very much for your response! Yes, it looks like our SSH server 
"interactive" response for Yubikey/Duo is not being recognized by the current 
X2Go clients.
The kind of response that looks like this:

====
(user@host) Duo two-factor login for user:

Enter a passcode or select one of the following options:

Passcode:
====

We are running an HPC machine here, with user authentication coming from a 
National-wide HPC organization, that chose Duo for MFA. We cannot easily just 
pick a random 2nd factor vendor.

The related common SSH/SFTP/SCP GUI clients like PuTTY and and MobaXterm and 
FileZilla do not seem to have this issue, at least in recent versions. (I just 
had a user that out of exasperation tried to run X2go over an SSH client 
created by Putty which is of course impossible) .


I think the main difference between x2goclient and at least putty is that x2goclient is managing the ssh interaction and feeding the prompts as needed. putty is simply presenting the prompts to the user and allowing them to interact with them. I'm not sure x2goclient has any other way to know that the connection is waiting for more authentication input.

x2go client has the following known prompts:

const QString SshMasterConnection::challenge_auth_code_prompts_[] = {
"Verification code:", // GA (http://github.com/google/google-authenticator) "One-time password (OATH) for", // OATH (http://www.nongnu.org/oath-toolkit/pam_oath.html)
  "passcode:",                     // MOTP    (http://motp.sourceforge.net)
  "Enter PASSCODE:",               // SecurID
"YubiKey for" // YubiKey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YubiKey)
};

which is close. We could either add "Passcode:" for Duo, or make the comparison case insensitive.
