WampServer

Hello,

After searching for a while, I have a headache.


Here is my problem:

Thru a php web page, I use the exec command to call the ssh command to a server (Gerrit). This ssh returns results that I need.

The server only allows ssh queries if a ssh key has been defined.

The problem is that with wampserver, the apache user (found with echo shell_exec('whoami') is nt authority\system.
And I don't know how to create an id_rsa.pub for that user.

I hope I'm clear. ^_^

Many thanks in advance.

This is not the solution! As my user for Apache is also 'nt authority\system' and so is everybody else that uses WAMPServer.

Look at this PHP Manual, ssh2_connect

Ok, thanks. I'll see that.

Does not work. Not really easy to use ssh2 under Windows.

I do not really understand why we cannot create a ssh key for the Apache user.

Because your apache user is the same as everybody elses apache user, well everyone using Apache on windows anyway. So therefore its not exactly unique. Unless I am misunderstanding completely!

I would say you would have to login to ssh using a userid/password pair that
a) you can manage from some admin tool.
b) that you can easily change both userid and password if wither the userid or password were ever compromised.

Thanks for your help.

I tried with NET_ssh, but in fact it's a little bit more complicated.

The gerrit server does not allow to connect with ssh. I mean when I type (in a terminal): ssh www.server.com, I get a return saying that the connection works, but I'm not logged in. I stay in my computer.

The command I need to execute is something like that: ssh www.server.com gerrit query ...
It will returns a JSON with what I want.

That's why, as I cannot use username and password in the ssh command, I need a rsa key for the user that execute exec commands in php.

But may be I missed something. :-)

Maybe you should read this page in the PHP Manual ssh2_auth_pubkey_file
