Forum: ssh-access-to-forge.ocamlcore.org
Posted by: Sylvain Le Gall There is two main security measures: - You cannot login to any *.ocamlcore.org site, using SSH, without a key. There is no password authentification. - If there is too many failed login attempts from an IP address, this IP is banned and cannot do further authentification attempts. The SSH key restriction leads to message like "Permission denied (publickey)". The IP banning leads to message like "Connection closed by foreign host". To have a valid SSH key to login into your SSH account or to access services over ssh (SVN, CVS, git, hg, darcs), you need to import a valid ssh public key. You should follow the instruction on your account page: https://forge.ocamlcore.org/account/editsshkeys.php To manage your key, you should consider editing your ~/.ssh/config and add: Host *.ocamlcore.org User XXX IdentityFile ~/.ssh/ZZZ The SSH key are synced by a cronjob, you need to wait for it, before being able to login (wait for something like 2 hours). This kind of security measures is very important. If someone is able to login, he will be able to destroy, alter or stop the service. If you key has been stolen, you should remove it from your account preferences. This project has not yet categorized itself in the Trove Software Map |
