Pertanyaan ini dari 2012. Sejak, SSH telah berubah dan protokol SSH2 telah diimplementasikan.
Pada versi SSH terbaru (> = 6.2), man sshd_config menyebutkan:
AuthenticationMethods
Specifies the authentication methods that must be successfully completed for a user to be
granted access. This option must be followed by one or more comma-separated lists of
authentication method names. Successful authentication requires completion of every method
in at least one of these lists.
For example, an argument of ``publickey,password publickey,keyboard-interactive'' would
require the user to complete public key authentication, followed by either password or key-
board interactive authentication. Only methods that are next in one or more lists are
offered at each stage, so for this example, it would not be possible to attempt password or
keyboard-interactive authentication before public key.
This option is only available for SSH protocol 2 and will yield a fatal error if enabled if
protocol 1 is also enabled. Note that each authentication method listed should also be
explicitly enabled in the configuration. The default is not to require multiple authentica-
tion; successful completion of a single authentication method is sufficient.
Halaman ini http://lwn.net/Articles/544640/ juga menyebutkan kemungkinan menggunakan publickey dan otentikasi PAM secara bersamaan.
