github-auth is a Ruby library. github-auth has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

If you agree to #pairwithme, we'll probably be SSHing into my laptop, your laptop, or some laptop in the sky. Sharing passwords over email is no fun, so we'll use public key authentication to keep things fun, fast, and secure. Let's see how this works.

            cmdkey: what's the difference between generic credential target types
            Asked 2021-May-28 at 15:30

            I re-discovered cmdkey.exe, which I used to use a lot in a Win2K domain environment. I've retired since then, so the domain credential features are probably no longer useful. Still, it seems like Windows 10/OneDrive may give me some similar convenience features, perhaps without the security of Kerberos. I'm trying to remember what the different Types, Targets, and Users listed by cmdkey /list mean.

            I bought a new dev machine a few months back, now cmdkey /list shows me a lot of stored credentials. (Too bad it doesn't show dates on them.) Is there documentation that can help me decode the various "Target" strings included?

            For example, here are some of the target types (PII redacted) listed:

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-May-28 at 15:30

            The cmdkey tool just manages the credentials in the Credential Manager. You can see the UI through control /name Microsoft.CredentialManager if you're so inclined.

            There are a handful of types. LegacyGeneric is just a catch-all for any kind of credential that isn't Windows-Integrated-Auth-specific, meaning Windows can't do anything special with it. This is in contrast to CRED_TYPE_DOMAIN_* credentials where Windows knows they're special and can do special things like use them for Kerberos, or protect them with Credential Guard. All of the types are documented. For completeness, there's actually also a third type that is sort of the logical successor to credman, which is the PasswordVault APIs. It uses the same functions under the cover, but is separated from win32 APIs.

            Target indicates what the credential is intended to be used for or by. In the generic case it's an arbitrary value. In the domain case it's a service identifier that matches a hostname or realm to say that 'when connecting to this service you can use this cred'.

            As such it's impossible to say what each target represents. Most of them are fairly obvious in name.

            CRED_TYPE_GENERIC = 1 (0x1)

            The credential is a generic credential. The credential will not be used by any particular authentication package. The credential will be stored securely but has no other significant characteristics.

            CRED_TYPE_DOMAIN_PASSWORD = 2 (0x2)

            The credential is a password credential and is specific to Microsoft's authentication packages. The NTLM, Kerberos, and Negotiate authentication packages will automatically use this credential when connecting to the named target.

            CRED_TYPE_DOMAIN_CERTIFICATE = 3 (0x3)

            The credential is a certificate credential and is specific to Microsoft's authentication packages. The Kerberos, Negotiate, and Schannel authentication packages automatically use this credential when connecting to the named target.

            CRED_TYPE_DOMAIN_VISIBLE_PASSWORD = 4 (0x4)

            This value is no longer supported. Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: The credential is a password credential and is specific to authentication packages from Microsoft. The Passport authentication package will automatically use this credential when connecting to the named target.

            Additional values will be defined in the future. Applications should be written to allow for credential types they do not understand.

            CRED_TYPE_GENERIC_CERTIFICATE = 5 (0x5)

            The credential is a certificate credential that is a generic authentication package. Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This value is not supported.

            CRED_TYPE_DOMAIN_EXTENDED = 6 (0x6)

            The credential is supported by extended Negotiate packages. Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This value is not supported.

            QUESTION

            How is GitLab/GitHub authentication separated from an ordinary SSH-session?
            Asked 2021-May-03 at 23:58

            I read the question: How does the GitHub authentification work? and https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/315615/is-ssh-public-key-associated-with-a-user Which is exactly what I am wondering. I am still missing a better answer.

            When I test my SSH-key-pair I connect to user git@gitlab.com. My stored Public key has a fingerprint of base64. When the SSH Client(me) want to connect to the server(My gitlab/github account server) it sends its ID(fingerprint), the server checks it ".ssh/authorised_keys" and loops through the Fingerprints after the correct public key to encrypt the challenge.

            On Github/Gitlab there are several thousand of users, they all use the same username ("git") to initiate a web (SaaS)session. So how is this separated on the server? I don't get root access on gitlab/github, of course. I only get access to my account though the generic user-session git@gitlab.com. But how is this implemented?

            When I use SSH in other situations I have a specific username which I use to [my-username]@router.com

            E.g. If I would set up my own GitLab on a local NAS/Server. How can I create an account (User@local-gitlab.com) but the access rights are limited to the Fingerprint of the differents users SSH-key-pairs?

            I was experiencing the same issue. I'm using Pop OS 20.04 LTS and Visual Studio Code would crash after startup. It seems the problem might be related to mixing the .snap package installation with the .deb package. This github comment has a solution that worked for me: (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/118727#issuecomment-801847011)

            I had to remove the vscodevscode.github-authentication/github.auth entry from the Passwords and Keys app.

            How to update saved git credentials on Visual Studio Code
            Asked 2020-Jun-22 at 18:10

            Visual Studio Code has recently started allowing automatic authentication against GitHub repositories (VS Code version 1.45+). official documentation reference

            This feature is really useful as it allows the user to save the credentials and avoid entering them repetitively for each commit.

            I am on version 1.45.1 and recently I updated my github credentials. Since then the trouble has started for me again. Because my previous credentials are saved somewhere for VS Code, my push requests are failing by default:

            As per the documentation, I was able to disable the automatic authentication using the 'git.githubAuthentication' setting:

            Post that VS Code started prompting me for credentials again. However, once I provide the new credentials and authenticate successfully once, I was intuitively expecting that the credentials will now get updated and enabling the 'git.githubAuthentication' setting again should allow me to bypass the credential prompts as previously.

            Sadly that has not been the case and I continue to get the same 'Authentication failure' messages again post enabling the setting. Apparently. VS Code is saving the credential details to some specific location and not updating it automatically.

            Looking for some help and suggestion on this.

            I searched for this issue and was not able to find a possible solution. The closest reference is the post: visual-studio-code-always-asking-for-git-credentials which was the case for versions prior to 1.45.

            It was not a matter of configuration, my configuration was not all that wrong, but it was a port problem. The machines I am using are related to two different accounts on an OpenStack server. The OpenStack server has an ingress/engress controller. I thought I opened up all necessary ports... but it did not work... what struck me, was that it sometimes did work... I figured that when all pods were created on nodes belonging to one account it did work.

            So I decided to only use one account (open all necessary ports for the kubernetes cluster listed here) and it worked.

            I will update my answer if I find out which ingress and engress rules I have to apply to the other account.
