Scp from external server to confd server

It’s not entirely clear but I read your question as being: is it possible to scp to ConfD’s built-in ssh-server and ConfD’s AAA authentication?

This is not possible, the built-in ssh-server does not support scp. However, you have a couple options:

  1. just run an external ssh-server, e.g. OpenSSH, and use normal linux authentication. This is simple although not quite what you want.
  2. again, use an external ssh-server and write a pam-module that authenticates requests against ConfD’s built-in AAA config using maapi_authenticate(). The ssh-server supply the secure-copy functionality and relies on ConfD for authentication.
