sftp empty passphrase fails

I am attempting to connect as a client to remote server using publickey authentication. I can't get this to work with empty passphrase. Works fine when I create keys with passphrase, but with empty passphrase, authentication proceeds to password.

Re: sftp empty passphrase fails

What do you get in the error log? Can you ssh -v instead of scp sucessfully without a password?

Have you removed the go write permissions to your keys?

You could stop the server with /sbin/init.d/secsh stop and run SSH in debug mode with:

sshd -d

To see why is rejecting the authentication.

Hi Allison ,

Try stting "PermitEmptyPasswords yes" in
/opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config and restart sshd .

/sbin/init.d/secsh stop and start.
