I've tried to duplicate this setting but I can only log-in with my username and password I created from a nxclient when I have in 
sshd.config
...
UsePAM yes

If I set it to no I can not log-in.
In your last section on coping keys, I'm not sure I follow it.
For now I used the default key that the server came with.

What do you call nxclient?
Is it the user account name on the server I created with "...nxserver --useradd joseph"?
This command copied the nxserver key to my home ~.ssh/authorized_keys file.
