Permission denied (publickey)

rtwk commented 9 years ago

I am trying to run wetty on a AWS EC2 instance. If a start the app.js with root I can access (using nginx as reverse proxy) to from public but when I try to do so using http://domainname:3000/wetty/ssh/ it returns Permission denied (publickey). The user is a valid SSH user and it can access the remote server from my local machine though.

can you paste the command you use to start wetty?

rtwk commented 9 years ago

Sure. I tried both

forever start app.js -p 3000 and forever start app.js -p 3000 --sshhost public_ip --sshuser myuser --sshport 22

Ah, looks like ssh servers (localhost of wetty and public_ip) is configured to accept ssh connections only with pvt key auth and not user/pass. You can either: 1) configure /etc/ssh/sshd_config with "PasswordAuthentication yes" or 2) start app.js with option "--sshauth publickey,password" and setup pvt/pub keys for passwordless login.

If I go for option 2, are to be set for the wetty or the server (public_ip)? And is there a way to supply login/passwd automatically if I go for option 1?

For wetty. Check app.js source to get an idea of how ssh connections happens.

I have created keys with ssh-keygen and placed authorized_keys within the home directory of the user whom I want to log in. It does not spit 'Permission denied (publickey)' anymore but still asks for login and password.

krishnasrinivas commented 9 years ago

That is because public key auth fails as it is not setup. note that you have to setup pub/pvt key auth between the machine running app.js and public_ip if dont want it to ask for username/password
