On a GL_Inet 1800AX router with firmware 4.7.0 I want to login via SSH with private key.
First I installed OpenSSH beside Dropbear as I am more familiar with the first, just another port number 2222.
I tried ssh -vv -p 2222 -i ~/.ssh/id_ed52219 -o ChallengeResponseAuthentication=yes root@IPROUTER, but it keeps asking for a password even after I added the public key id_ed52219.pub to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys' and did ssh-copy-id -p 2222 root@IPROUTER`.
Then I tried as well copying the public key via the LuCI interface for using the dropbear SSH, not OpenSSH: https://IPROUTER:8443/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/admin/sshkeys, but to no avail.
How can I enable private key logging in ?
Hi I just tried by Lucy on: https://x.x.x.x:8443/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/admin/sshkeys and I pasted my .pub key, it worked. I use Dropbear
Weird, for me this is not working, it still prompts for a password.
I saw that the file /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys is updated with the public key as result of adding the pubkey in the LuCI page.
This is the LuCI page for Dropbear settings:
Is here anything wrong ?
hi skatebiker,
sorry man I'm been quite busy, from your capture it seems ok from my side, but I'm been thinking how your are making your public ssh key ? cos from my side what I did... from my localcomputer (linux) I create the ssh-key by openssh and the pub key generated I copy it and paste to Glinet route from lucy dashboard (SSH-Keys menu) and that is all I done to get the access from my localhost to my router by ssh (without password)
