How do I create one user without key authentication?
I've completed the following steps:
- I have configured Ubuntu server with Key authentication and it is working fine.
- I have disabled password authentication for key authentication to work.
- The server is always accessed via remote terminals or putty.
Now all user accounts are able to log in with the authentication key and pass phrase, but now I want to create only one new user without key authentication. So how should I go about it?
On the other hand, this should not hamper other users who are using key authentication.
Solution 1:
Assuming that you mean that you want to permit a particular user to use a password when nobody else can, add the following to the bottom of your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
file:
Match User rishee
PasswordAuthentication yes
KbdInteractiveAuthentication yes
Then restart ssh:
sudo service ssh restart
