Re: openssh + active directory

Stephen,

I could not recall the package we were using at work, but here is the
information. The OpenSSH package we are using may not be presently
maintained, but works very well for Windows/AD and interoperating with most
other SSH daemons on Linux, OSX, etc.

We¹ve used the OpenSSH for Windows from http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
and it has worked very well for us.
 
1) Download and install the OpenSSH software.

2) Once OpenSSH is installed, and if you used the default path, open
³C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\docs>quickstart.txt²

3) OpenSSH should be installed as a service but not running. You now
need to configure groups and users that will be allowed to connect.

4) If you want to use Active Directory for authentication, (computer
must be part of AD domain) follow the QUICKSTART.TXT document and execute
from OpenSSH:

a. mkgroup -d >> ..\etc\group (domain groups)

b. mkpasswd -d [-u <username>] >> ..\etc\passwd (domain users)

5) Start OpenSSH service

6) You should now be able to connect using ³ssh
ad_account@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx², where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the
system you are connecting to using SSH.

 
Please let me know if this works for you.
 
Cheers,
 
Frank Pikelner
