This issue is caused by KARAF-5330. A new role "ssh" was introduced, and that new role was not added to keys.properties. Once done
_g_\:admingroup = group,admin,manager,viewer,systembundles,ssh the key based login also works again. This seems to be broken in 4.1 and 4.2. - Martin On 22.12.2018 17:02, Martin Lichtin wrote:
Hi Karaf Users Can someone confirm password-less login using a public/private key-pair works with Karaf 4.1.7? 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: ssh-keygen -t dsa -f karaf.id_dsa # enter nothing for the passphrase # 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: 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. - Martin
