[GUIDE] Enable SSH with Public Key Authentication (Securing remote webUI access to OMV)

  • I'm having a similar issue.. I followed the guide. I can login to my nas using 'sshremote' but I can't with 'sshacess'. I get an error: "Warning: Identity file /Users/RS/.ssh/sshacess not accessible: No such file or directory.
    Permission denied (publickey)."


    The output from ls -la ~/.ssh reveals that I do not have sshacess (attached image).


    Should I have it?

  • Does this guide still apply in OMV 2 and OMV 3?


    Also, I'd like to make a new sudo account to SSH into so I'm not logged in as root, where I can accidentally mess things up. Is there a preferred "OMV" way of doing this, or should I follow Debian guides?


    I'm mainly wondering what groups the new sudo user should belong to.


    Thanks!

  • Sorry but I didn´t take care who has posted that. ;) I thought I fits quite good to the second part of your question.

  • I'm running OMV 5.5.3.


    Adding public keys to users through OMV web interface doesn't seem to produce any effect.


    If I manually add the public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of a user it works as expected (no password asked on ssh login).


    If I add the public key through OMV web interface it has no effect... Password is still asked on ssh login.


    Am I missing something or is this feature broken?



    Thanks,

    a good tip, but not complete, this is complete solution to fix the "public authentication key issue"

    add all your public keys to the file under the authorized_keys directory, the file usually named "username" that you use to login webUI of OMV7

    for example I use "pi" as the login user id, the file for my OMV7 is named "pi", so appending your public keys to this file by any methods you knew
