Hello
I want to setup a SSH tunnel to run RDP.
I installed CopSSH and activated a user.
I downloaded BitVise tunnelier but I haven't install this yet because I
cannot find any info on how to setup the server end.
I activated a user but are there other parameters that need to be setup
on the server end?
What if I wan't to change, let's say the password?
I generally am pretty good about finding info and being able to
configure from that, but I cannot find anything on this so far.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
I installed the client and was able to access the server but it keeps
asking for a password.
Where on the CopSSH side do I find the password?
Thanks

Click to expand...

The password is for the user your trying to log on with. You have to activate each user
you want to be able to connect with.

I have it working now.
One question though.
I noticed on a forum that you responded to that you recommended a change
to the port number.
Could you recommend a range of ports that would be best for me to use or
ports to avoid.
Thanks
 
I simply use a random high numbered port. Something like 24155 would work for
example. Make sure that when you change the default port number in the
/etc/shd_config file that you both uncomment the line with the new change and
that you restart the "Openssh SSHD" service.

Good luck...

Correction to change the file name...

That should read... "Make sure that when you change the default port number
in the /etc/sshd_config file..."

Thanks Sooner for your time on this.
I have it working but I think I am using a null password. Am I correct
that when I activate an user on CopSSH that by default it setups a null
password?
I created a User Auth Keypair on the Tunnelier using the Userp Keypair
Manager.
I assume that I should export this (standard or open?) and import this
into a folder in OpenSSh.
Can you help with the specifics on this. If so I will be all set.
Thanks in advance!
 
CopSSH creates an initial private/public key pair with a null passphrase.
Personally I recommend running ssh-keygen and create a new key pair with a
strong passphrase.

Please post CopSSH questions to the CopSSH forums...

I have indeed posted to this forum with no response thus far.
I appreciate your time on this.
I will reluctantly give up and uninstall.
But thanks anyway.
 
Thanks Sooner Al! That is exactly what I needed. Working like a charm.
I appreciate your time and patiences on this.
 
I also responded over in the CopSSH forums to your post...

Glad its working for you...and the fact that you did not give up on me...:-)
