I am trying to figure out how to change the authorization process for ssh and normal logins. I have used public and private keys before but now I want to try using something else. I already have the program written now, I just need help implementing it. I was doing some research on GRUB and still was not able to find the process.

I'm going to implement a dynamic password system. I don't like static passwords or keys.

    It's unclear what you actually want to do and need help with - maybe elaborate? – Artur Meinild Oct 01 '20 at 07:39
  • I updated it. Im just trying to switch out the traditional authentication for something custom. – Boheyga Oct 01 '20 at 14:16
  • the files that manage the authentication configuration are, on client: /etc/ssh/ssh_config, on server: /etc/ssh/sshd_config - i guess you will have to configure both files, the authentication "type" is showed on the sshd_config. – johncli Oct 01 '20 at 19:10
  • Thank you, I looked into both files and I think your on to something. I am not sure what calls this file. If I can figure that part out and replace it with my own code, I should be good to go. – Boheyga Oct 01 '20 at 19:24
  • Password based login in normal login is handled by PAM. ssh also calls pam when password authentication is required. – user68186 Oct 02 '20 at 20:15

  • This is a lot closer to what I wanted. It will take some time to sort everything. I will possibly make a free alternative tool for everyone. It will not be Jalyn's Algorithm but powerful and interesting. – Boheyga Oct 02 '20 at 23:09
