[Bug 669] Putty / SecureCRT connections fail to authenticate
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669

Summary: Putty / SecureCRT connections fail to authenticate
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.7.1p1
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: sshd
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: kari@wabbits.org


Upgraded to 3.7p1 last night and used sshd with openssh successfully for the
day, but tonight I noticed that I couldn't log in from my laptop with putty. Tried
from different location with Putty and SecureCRT with the same result.

Logs didn't offer any help:

Sep 17 23:19:01 localhost sshd[7568]: Failed password for myuser from
192.168.0.12 port 1931 ssh2

neither did testruns with "sshd -de". Still I'm considering that it's sshd's
problem as the connections work from openssh and FSecure's SSH.

Are you using PAM?

Can you make sure "keyboard-interactive" authentication is enabled in your client?

I've got PuTTY v0.53b here and it's:
Connection -> SSH -> Auth -> Attempt "keyboard-interactive" authentication (SSH2)

I'm not sure which version of putty I was using, but as I upgraded
the newest one, this "keyboard-interactive" appeared and now it works
so this wasn't sshd-problem after all.

Lesson learned: update your software more often:) Thanks.
