Hello, I'm looking for some help getting past a problem where PuTTY Connection Manager doesn't prompt for my username and pw when opening a new session.
I'm using.
PuTTY Connection Manager Version 0.7.1 BETA (build 136)
PuTTY Release 0.62
on Windows 7
In PuttyCM, when I right click on a session and choose connect and new tab is open to connect to the host and in the status bar at the bottom of the window it reads 'Connection '<hostname>' opened. However, the new tabbed window's background is grey and no output from the host is returned. I don't see it prompting me to login with a prompt to enter a userid or password.
Any ideas for how to get this to work?
If I use the toolbar in PuTTYCM and enter only the login name it works. It opens the new session tab in PuttyCM and I see the login prompt with my username filled in and it does prompt for password, which if I enter I can log in.
(A separate issue/bug with the toolbar in PuttyCM: There seems to be bug where if I enter the username and pw in the toolbar click the green arrow to open a quick connection using 'Default Settings', when logging in, it enters my password as the username instead of vis-versa.)
If use just PuTTY and not PuTTYCM for the same session/host, it also prompts for my username and pw and logs in fine.
I'm not sure why PuttyCM is not prompting for my username and pw...
In PuTTY configuration, I found 'Workarounds for SSH server bugs' and they are all set to 'Auto'.
The host appears to be running...
OpenSSH_5.8p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
[-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile]
[-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file]
[-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]
[-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
[-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path]
[-W host:port] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]]
[user@]hostname [command]
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Evan
