Class Ssh2HostbasedAuthentication

java.lang.Object

com.sshtools.ssh2.Ssh2HostbasedAuthentication

All Implemented Interfaces:

SshAuthentication, AuthenticationClient

public class Ssh2HostbasedAuthentication
extends Object
implements AuthenticationClient

Provides hostbased authentication for the SSH2 protocol. Hostbased authentication allows a user to connect from a trusted client by providing the clients public key and their local/remote usernames. The server then allows access if the client can be verified through a combination of several different configuration files which include /etc/hosts.equiv /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts ~/.ssh/known_hosts ~/.rhosts ~./shosts.
