2 problems, 1 hopefully simple, the other slightly confusing.

Hey all. I'm having 2 issues with CopSSH. Firstly i have this running perfectly well on Server 2003 and it's doing a great job.

 1. User profile with the 'activate a user' etc has been deleted by someone, therfore i can't run the 'activate a user' command. I see it as a .sh script in the Bin folder, but unsure how to run it as i'm not familliar with Bash etc...

 

2. User having connection issues, from what i can see it should all work perfectly. We've tried different passwords and also using Public Keys, errors listed below.

Error messages….

 

$ ssh emea-dsmain\#sftp-itrs@170.127.204.44

As an aside for point 2.

The user is in a group called 'local logon' (we've configured this to allow local logon as instructed)

the permissions on the Home folder for the user all look OK

Other accounts are working OK on the server for CopSSH (well, techincally only 1 other)

i can use the user account and password to connect to another machine via FTP, so  i'm assuming it's something in the CopSSH configuration ?

Update for point 2. Could have been a red-herring for some of the above as it seems someone had locked out the account.

 

Now using an unlocked account they get the below. Which has been a common error with this user/account since activation.

1. From servernameremoved.net, No password error this time, but received message 'Connection closed'
sftp \#sftp-itrs@170.***.204.**
Connecting to 170.***.204.**...
#sftp-itrs@170.***.204.**'s password:
Connection closed
2. From removed.mcilink.com ( i guess the key has already been snapped for this server, hence will not ask for password)
$ sftp \#sftp-itrs@170.***.204.**
Connecting to 170.***.204.**...

Make a shortcut to the UserActivationWizard.exe.
