Use SSH tunnel with Google Authenticator enabled

Hi.

I use my home Linux SSH server to additionally secure all incoming RDP connections to my home desktop by tunneling them through SSH.

Your application is able to establish ssh session and tunnel rdp traffic through that tunnel. It is great.

But after introduction of Google Auth, I lost that ability.

Apparently because your program expects to just enter username and password and don't expect to see any "Verification code" requests.

Can you add such ability? To enter that "Verification code" manually of course?

 

Thank you.

  Hi,

  We don't support the verification code however you can generate one-time application specific passwords for Jump. Take a look at this article for more information:

  Please let me know if it helps.

  Actually - my mistake. This is currently not supported but we've opened up a feature request for this.

  Thanks

  One of users has tried a workaround and reported that it has worked perfectly:

  As a workaround, please use the 'forward_pass' option in your PAM implementation. It basically allows you use enter your account password AND the google code all in one string, and the google code will strip the google code piece and use that to verify, while passing the rest of the password (which is the original user's system password) to the next part of the PAM chain.
