Hello,

Is there a way of offering to an SFTP client the possibility to authenticate via login/password or public key, at his discretion.

Both authentication methods work, but exclusively.
I tried all possible combinations between login/password and public key fields in the Remote Site and the CGate configuration, but the second a password is present anywhere, no public key authentication is possible anymore.

It would be great if we could offer our client the possibility to use any, at will.

What’s disturbing is that when I define no public key for authentication, and the client sends a public key, he is rejected. Can the Gateway at least be made to ignore sent public keys and prompt for password in this case?

Thx.
