What is interesting there is the line: Skipping ssh-dss key /root/.ssh/id_dsa - not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes. This variable sounds like what I am looking for, but it is not defined within the sshd_config.
ssh has the -i option to tell which private key file to use when authenticating: -i identity_file Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for RSA or DSA authentication is read. The default is ~/.ssh/identity for protocol version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa for protocol version 2. Identity files may also be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file. It is ...
Remote SSH login password would be enough in this case. I can speculate that this prevents adding your public key (which is paired with encrypted private key) without knowing encryption password for corresponding private key (without owner of the keys) for better security, but... it is still just a public key.
How do I set the host name and port in a config file for Windows, using OpenSSH through PowerShell? As on Unix/Linux: Edit or create the file now by typing: nano ~/.ssh/config In here,...
With ssh -i <private key filename> you can instruct ssh to use an extra private key to try authentication. The documentation is not clear on how to explicitly use only that key.
The ssh command will attempt all ssh keys before asking for a password as one can see when using the -v flag. Anyway, after playing enough with SSH, I figured that you can also set up a such configuration to be specific to an ssh host.
@confetti The purpose of using ssh as a SOCKS proxy is to tunnel your traffic through a remote endpoint in order to disguise your traffic, or to get your browser onto the network your endpoint is sitting on.
This machine is refered to by "remote". Local port forwarding with ssh means you connect from your client to your server and thereby open a tunnel so that another program on your client can connect via a local port to a host&port on the server site. The option for this is -L local_port:remote_machine:remote_port.
To automatically add a key for a new host, just SSH to it. To manually add a key for a new host, 1) open the known_hosts file in your text editor and 2) add the key for a new host, following the same format.
