Issue with SFTP - SSH public key authentication not working properly

Hi

In SSH configuration i'm using public key authentication and i've disabled authentication with password.

I'm also using the SFTP plugin and in there it does not matter if i enable or not the public key authentication, it will always act like it's enabled. So if i login in SFTP with WinSCP it will use my private key also if i disabled public key authentication in SFTP.

Password authentication instead works fine for SFTP even if it's disabled in SSH configuration.

I think that the SFTP plugin inherits public key settings from SSH, overwriting anything i select for SFTP. Correct?

Nope. The sftp plugin is completely separate from the ssh plugin. It starts its own server process with separate config file. https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…es/omv_sftp_config.j2#L38

That said, I screwed up the saltstack code when porting to 4.x and it uses all environment variables ignoring some of the settings from the web interface. I never noticed (I do use the plugin) because I never disable public key auth. So, don't look at settings in ssh and think they affect the sftp plugin. I will have to fix it.

Oh i see, thank you for the prompt response!

Will keep the thread unsolved in the meantime.

Thanks! Update installed and tried
