Hello,

We have a Unix box that needs programmatic access (SSH) to a file system on Windows box.  We have FortressSSH installed on the Windows box.  Can FortressSSH be configured to only authenticate using a public key and no password? 

When we try this, we get prompted for a password on the first connection attempt.  This is fine for the very first time, but when the password on the account changes we are again prompted to enter the password.  Security makes us change password every 60 days so we don't want to store passwords.  This password prompt becomes difficult for programmatic interfaces.

If we are storing the key from the Unix box in the authorized_keys2 file, why then to we also need to cache a password? 

Thanks,
Brian
