It will try the keys it can find (and an ssh agent if you have one) then fallback to the password authentication - assuming that the server allows it. If you specify a password on the command line, it will try that first.
You can also configure which authentication steps will be attempted, for password only: xpra attach --ssh=paramiko:auth=password > I don't use those, thats my choice, > I have my reasons, and don't want to derail this in to a debate on those. > > I can't seem to get XPRA to go this route, I've tried all kinds of > formats and options > > xpra attach ssh://xpra@xpra:100 > xpra attach ssh/xpra@xpra/100 > xpra <options for password or password file> I have amended the documentation to make this clearer: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/blob/master/docs/Network/SSH.md We use the standard URI format (this is true for all connection modes, not just SSH): xpra attach ssh://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DISPLAY > xpra_launcher > > No joy.

You're using SSH X11 forwarding with xpra, the performance will be terrible. > I've looked at too many man pages, web sites, XPRA wiki and am clearly > missing something to get this to ask for a password.... > > Any clues for idiots lost in the forest??? Thanks! It should just work out of the box and prompt you for a password using pinentry or a dialog box, depending on your OS / DE and version in use. It may just be a trivial misconfiguration or missing dependency somewhere. Without further details, it's impossible to say. Depending on what OS you're running on, you can also switch to the older ssh backend: xpra attach --ssh="ssh" Cheers, Antoine _______________________________________________ shifter-users mailing list shifter-users@lists.devloop.org.uk https://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users
