RE: Does OpenSSH support X.509 Certificate format?

Haven't had a chance to play with the patch for quite awhile (other nonrelated 9.7 issues). I'd appreciate some help or clarification for x509 as well. Over the next week maybe I can give it a shot with the current doc. Has anyone given 9.7 (SSL) a try with the latest patch?

Hi All,

Could any one shed some light on why this "Permission denied" problem occurs, when "make check" is run. Actually I am trying certificate authentication for OpenSSH-3.6.1p1 with Roumen's patch (version g) for X509. I am getting the same problem as reported here. The certificates are properly created, but the authentication fails. Am I missing any configuration issues.

If somebody help me with exactly how I can configure OpenSSH for certificate authentication, that would be great.

Thanks
Kumaresh.
