[winswitch] WinSwitch - Issues connecting via SSH?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

I'm having some issues using Winswitch and connecting via SSH to a remote
Linux host.

Firstly - is it possible to use a SSH private key that has a password? I
can't seem to find any option to enter in a password for the key. The
workaround is just to use a keyfile without a password, or to use
username/password based authentication, but neither are as secure, of
course.

Secondly - is there any way to use SSH via a HTTP proxy? I dont' know if
Conch has support for this.

Finally, I've setup username/password based authentication, and I've also
setup a SSH tunnel via Putty through which I'm connecting, however, I still
can't seem to open a connection to the box.

The server is a Ubuntu box, the client is Windows.

The Winswich client is setup to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1 (I've tried
using both) on port 29, which is then forwarded via Putty to port 22 on the
remote Linux host.

SSH tunneling and preload SSH tunnels are both set to on, in the WinSwitch
client.

I seem to be able to connect fine via that tunnel using other applications.

This is my output in applet.log

Any thoughts?
