User Authentication - Public Key

Certificate not authorized for login

Authorization check for user <login-name>'s certificate
rejected[, reason: <error-message>].

The server's authorization check for the certificate produced a negative result, meaning that public-key authentication with this certificate is denied.

Error in public key decoded from certificate

Couldn't get info from certificate public key used by user
<login-name>.

After extracting the public key from the received certificate, the server could not get the public key information from the public key.

Key length too small in certificate

Use of certificate for user <login-name> is not allowed, because
public key is too small (pk size <key-size>, min size
<minimum-size>).

The server has rejected the authentication using the certificate sent by the client, because the public key in the certificate is too short.

Key length too large in certificate

Use of certificate for user <login-name> is not allowed, because
public key is too large (pk size <key-size>, max size
<maximum-size>).

The server has rejected the authentication using the certificate sent by the client because the public key in the certificate is too long.

Signature check failed

Signature verify failed for certificate from user
<login-name>.

The signature verify failed for the user in certificate authentication.

Certificate authentication accepted

Certificate authentication for user <login-name> accepted.

The server has accepted the certificate authentication for the user.

Certificate authentication rejected

Certificate authentication for user <login-name> rejected.

The server has rejected the certificate authentication for the user.

Public key options prohibit using the key

Use of public key <key-name> is not allowed in public key options for
the host the user <login-name> is logging in from.

Using the public key for the user and host has been denied based on the public key options set on the server for the key.

Error in public key

Couldn't get info from public key <key-name> used by user
<login-name>.

The server could not get the public key information from the public key.

Key length too small

Use of public key <key-name> by user <login-name> is not
allowed, because public key is too small (pk size <key-size>, min size
<minimum-size>).

The server has rejected the authentication using the public key sent by the client because the key is too short.

Key length too large

Use of public key <key-name> by user <login-name> is not
allowed, because public key is too large (pk size <key-size>, max size
<maximum-size>).

The server has rejected the authentication using the public key sent by the client because the key is too long.

Crypto operation failed for RSA key

Crypto operation failed for RSA key of user <login-name>.

A cryptographic operation failed for a key.

Root logins not permitted

root logins are not permitted.

The server has been configured to not allow root logins.

Root login permitted for forced command

root login permitted for forced command.

The server has been configured to not allow root logins, but will allow forced commands as root.

Public-key authentication accepted

Public key authentication for user <login-name> accepted.

The server has accepted the public-key authentication for the user.

Bad packet when verifying key

got bad packet when verifying user <login-name>'s publickey.

The server received an invalid packet when trying to verify the user's public key.

Public key is authorized

Public key <filename> authorized for user <login-name>,
verifying signature.

The server has determined that the public key supplied by the client is authorized for a login, and will now verify the signature supplied by the client.
