Hi Guys!
As a suggestion/workaround: I am using Pageant from the PuTTY suite,
this is where I have my users load their keys.
Pageant is a SSH agent for Windows, under the same license as PuTTY and
PuTTYgen.
The reason why I'm using it is that my users also use WinSCP for file
transfers and thus have to authenticate only once - when
loading/unlocking their key file in pageant.
Thus, I'm telling both x2goclient and WinSCP to use the SSH agent, and
everything works (for me).
Please ALSO note that PuTTYgen saves the private key files in its own
special format (as indicated by the *.ppk extension).
You might have to use one of the "Export" Options in PuTTYgen's
"Conversions" menu so that x2goclient is able to process the key.

I myself have also observed the issue reported by Matthias. Adding
this as a bug. This should get fixed before the release of 4.0.1.1.

Betreff: [X2Go-User] Login via ~/.ssh/authorized_keys fails
An: x2go-u...@lists.berlios.de
Hi,
I am looking for input on how to set up an ssh key-based authentication.
I generated an RSA key pair with puttygen and added it to
~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 => confirmed that I can login with putty.
Now, I specify the same private key in x2goclient (windows). I enter my
password and I am then prompted for the password of the ssh key. I enter
it and the same ssh key password prompt reappears. This seems to be an
infinite loop. When I cancel it, I get a message saying that only
publickey is supported as login method (which corresponds to my
sshd_config settings).
I then tried renaming ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and using a DSA key pair.
putty still works as expected with both of these alternatives.
x2goclient still shows the same problems however. It only lets me login
if I adapt my sshd_config and authenticate via user / password
combination.
Is this a known limitation?
What is the best way to achieve high security? Can I limit the x2go
connections to only LAN IPs (without restricting the pure ssh
connections)?
Best Wishes,
Matthias Kauer
