Hello,
Is the following scenario possible.
A user opens a ssh session to a server. User logs in and obtains a krb5
ticket. The automounter mounts his krb5/nfs4 homedir on another server.
This is working, no problem here.
But now we have a user who wants to authenticate from home with his ssh
private/public key. His public key is in his homedir. (Which is not
mounted yet)
If the user logges in, this mechanism works for a couple of hours.
(ticket is valid then)
But my question is, is this possible ? Obtaining a krb5 ticket with ssh
public/private key mechanism ?
I think not ... but you never know .. Does krb5 always wants a password ?
Does anyone know ?
<user> --SSH--> <accessserver> --krb5 mount--> <homedirserver>
Greetings Richard
