How to connect sshportal about sshportal HOT 4 OPEN

@LeoChbiao
It will remember your public key when you first connect your portal using -l invite:xxxxxx , of course you can specify one key using ssh -i path_to_your_key other than the default one (.ssh/id_rsa or .ssh/id_ec25519 or something else). If you do not have a key, you should set up one.

I guess, the reason why can not use password to connect portal, is password should be paired with a login name but sshportal take login name to identify your target as ssh -l your_target.

There is no technical reason why it can't scan the database for a user with that password, and select that user, exactly how it does for keys.. That being said, just no...

SSHPortal's "password" support is a stub which accepts a password, check if you are logging in as "healthcheck" and if so, accepts a healthcheck query. If your username is not "healthcheck", the password request is denied.

I didn't like this, because it meant anytime anyone used ssh without a key, they would get a password prompt. This has a tendency to encourage bots and hackers, so I permanently disabled it in the source.

Sorry to comment on this after so long, but I'm having the same issue. I already have an ssh key generated and creating a new one doesn't help.
