SSH key auth and google MFA

[mcxmark]

Hi,

I would like to get NoMachine working with SSHKey and google-authenticator, but it seems like nxserver is not reading/etc/pam.d/nx when authenticating using key authentication.

Verification code is being asked when trying to login using ssh, but not when connecting from Windows to RHEL8 (GNOME).

I added the following line to /etc/pam.d/nx end of file:

auth       required      pam_google_authenticator.so

 

Key authentication works perfectly, but not when I want to add MFA.

Anyone tips or suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Hello mcxmar,

With NX protocol it’s only possible to perform PAM-based two-factor authentication. This means that you can only combine authentication methods supported by PAM modules, usually password + authentication code. Here is an article providing examples of two-factor configuration for NX protocol: https://kb.nomachine.com/AR12L00828
