Restart SSH server:

Connection
 
 
Now you can perform SSH remote connections with any SSH client.
 
Linux: ssh
 
Windows: PuTTY (windows).
 
 
 Principle
 
ssh votre_adresse_ip -p numeroDePort
 
 
Advanced security
 
To increase the security here are some options:
 
#  vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
 
 
Protocol 2 # only use SSH v2
 
PermitRootLogin no # Avoid root connections
 
PermitEmptyPassword no # Forbidden user with empty passwords
 
Security lock: Fail2ban
 
 
For more security you can also ban a remote IP after 6 trials:
 
# apt-get install fail2ban
 
 
Edit the configuration file
 
# vim /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf
 
 
Adjust:
 
 
 
 
Remote clients
 
 
$ ssh user@server -p portNumber
 
 
$ ssh -X user@server -p portNumber
 
user@server ~ $ gnome-session
 
 
 
 
VNC Server (Linux desktop, ubuntu like)

# apt-get install vino
 
# apt-get install dconf-tools

$ vino-preferences
 
$ dconf-editor
 
 
go to desktop > Gnome > Remote-access
 
 
 
* Set the alternate port number
 
* Disable background-feature (use too many bandwith)
 
* Enable server
 
* if prompt enabled, remote user must grant you access
 
* Enable encryption
 
* Enable the use of an alternative port (in order to use your own)
 
* Set the vnc password

Authentication with RSA keys
 
 
Introduction
 
 
If you’d like to increase the authentication process you can use authentication by private/public key.
 
 Generate new private / public keys on your own computer
 
 Put the public key on the remote SSH server
 
 Only the person with the private key can be authenticate on the server
 
 
 This is how hosting company can log on your system.
 
 
Then, when you’ve test it and everything is working, you can remove the default access by login / password.
 
 Using key-based SSH logins, you can disable the normal username/password login procedure which means that only people with a valid private/public key pair can log in. That way, there is no way for brute-force attacks to be successful, so your system is more secure.
 
 
Source: http://www.howtoforge.com/ssh_key_based_logins_putty
 
 
Requirements – windows
 
Download the following software:
 
• PuTTY
 
• PuTTYgen
 
• Pageant
 
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
 
 
Windows - Generate new private / public keys pair
 
Start PuTTYgen
 
 
 
Create a 4096 bits key, DSA algorithm.
 
 
 
 
Then, click on generate
 
When the keys are OK, you have to enter a key passphrase.
 
 You passphrase must be long (> 15 characters), hard to guess, with letters + signs + numbers
 
 
 Reminder: how to choose your passphrase and protect it:
 
http://www.alcf.anl.gov/resource-guides/user-authentication-policies
 
 
Then, save your keys!
 
You should be the only one to access the save location.
 
 
 
Declare the public key on the server
 
You have to log in to your SSH server with the standard user that’s gonna use this key.
 
Go to your home directory, and create a .ssh folder (if there was none before).
 
# cd ~
 
# mkdir .ssh
 
# cd .ssh
 
# vim authorized_key2
 
 
Prefix your key with:
 
RSA: ssh-rsa
 
DSA: ssh-dss
 
Then paste the public key into the file in one line!
 
 
Copy the text as shown on the previous image.
 
 
Example:
 
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EA[...]Lg5whU0zMuYE5IZu8ZudnP6ds= myname@example.com
 
ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EA[...]Lg5whU0zMuYE5IZu8ZudnP6ds= myname@example.com
 
 
Adjust file rights
 
 The authorized_keys2  file must be write/readable only by that user
 
 
# chmod 600 authorized_keys2
 
# cd ..
 
# chmod 700 .ssh
 
 
Windows – configure PuTTY client
 
 
You have to configure your PuTTY SSH client with this new key.
 
 
Create profile
 
 
Auto-login
 
 
 
 
 
Attach private key
 
 
 
Save profile
 
Go back to the main screen Session and save your changes.
 
 
 
Click on “open” to initialize connection.
 
  
Login procedure
+
==Windows==
  
 Type your passphrase on system request
+
You have to use Putty to perform SSH login.
 
  
Access is granted! 
 
  
Disable standard username / password login
+
'''How to add a public / private key in Putty ?'''
  
Edit the configuration file
+
1.Create profile
#  vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
 
  
Adjust the line:
+
[[File:Putty_SSH_access_1.png|none|Putty SSH login step 1]]
 
  
to:
 
 
  
 +
2. Auto-login
  
 +
[[File:Putty_SSH_access_2.png|none|Putty SSH login step 2]]
  
  
Restart SSH server:

3. Attach private key
#  /etc/init.d/ssh restart
 
  
OVH server: root access
+
[[File:Putty_SSH_access_3.png|none|Putty SSH login step 3]]
  
OVH requires a root access for maintenance.
 
OVH uses a RSA key for authentication. You have to let the following settings:
 
SSH port : 22
 
Root login : enable
 
UsePam: yes
 
  
 +
4. Save profile
  
 Important
+
[[File:Putty_SSH_access_4.png|none|Putty SSH login step 4]]
If this access is removed then OVH will stop your server in case of DoS.

SSH client

Linux

Standard login

# syntax
ssh user@server -p portNumber

# example
ssh root@daxiongmao.eu -p 4422


Using RSA key

Key points:

  • The key must belongs to the current user
  • The key rights must be "500"


Then you can log-in using the following command:

ssh -i Guillaume_OpenSSH.private -p 2200 guillaume@dev.daxiongmao.eu

Where:

  • -i myFile = the private key you have to use
  • -p port = specific port number (if not default 22)


X11 forwarding

ssh -X guillaume@nuc-media-center


♦ Note that the remote computer have X11 installed and X11 applications.


Windows

You have to use Putty to perform SSH login.


How to add a public / private key in Putty ?

1.Create profile

Putty SSH login step 1


2. Auto-login

Putty SSH login step 2


3. Attach private key

Putty SSH login step 3


4. Save profile

Putty SSH login step 4
