Hi All, Anyone having trouble with Windows client pam-userpwd authentication?
On our cluster we have a manual method - ssh tunnel to a node and pam-userpwd to login in. We also have an automated method using keys and otp through a launcher app. I have been using the automated method for a while so I don't know when our manual method broke but I'd like it unbroke for emergency/testing purposes :) It looks like the Windows client is not recognising the login protocol, a Linux client works fine and asks for username/password, but the Windows client only asks for password (username field is blocked out) Here's the config: /etc/turbovncserver-auth.conf pam-service-name = login permitted-auth-methods = pam-userpwd, otp Here's the log messages (not it fails with KDE also) 22/10/2014 08:36:50 Got connection from client 172.19.1.251 22/10/2014 08:36:50 Using protocol version 3.8 22/10/2014 08:36:51 Enabling TightVNC protocol extensions ** (gnome-volume-control-applet:3454): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting... ** (gnome-settings-daemon:3434): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting... 22/10/2014 08:36:55 rfbVncAuthProcessResponse: authentication failed from 172.19.1.251 22/10/2014 08:36:55 Client 172.19.1.251 gone 22/10/2014 08:36:55 Statistics: 22/10/2014 08:36:55 framebuffer updates 0, rectangles 0, bytes 0 ** (gnome-settings-daemon:3434): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting... Here's the full description of the manual method working: https://www.massive.org.au/userguide/cluster-instructions/using-the-massive-desktop Snippet below: "To access the desktop first create a secure tunnel to m2106 Windows Putty Terminal: 1) Right-click on Window border and select Change Settings... 2) Select Connection-SSH-Tunnels 3) Remove any existing tunnels to port 5901 4) Add a new tunnel to Source port 5901 Destination m2106:5901 Linux/Max Shell: 1) Start a new login to MASSIVE using the following command ssh -L 5901:m2106:5901 [email protected] Now connect using your local TurboVNC client to connect to localhost:1 and use your MASSIVE login details."
