I apologize. That is arguably a two factor system. When you said |
| 11 |
"ssh key and password", I "jumped to delusions", assuming that it was a |
| 12 |
standard ssh connection with the option of either key or password. Does |
| 13 |
the jump host restrict you to logging on to the account corresponding to |
| 14 |
the key? I.e. would John Smith got to the jump host with his key, could |
| 15 |
he log in to the Jane Doe account, or only John Smith. |
