SSH Authentication
Hi! I implemented a ssh conection from the outside to my intranet. This ssh requires a username and a password. In terms of security what is more secure: require authentication (username and password) or having the public key of each user that connects to our intranet in the authorized public key lists (in this case there is no need for username and password)? In the second case there is no need of authentication and only the users wich have the public keys in the list are allowed to enter in my intranet. This second solution is a good solution or that brings other security problems ? Thanks. -- Farewell. "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." "Do or do not.
