X11Forwarding with Centrify on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04

Issue: X11Forwarding not working even after enabling it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
"X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0".

Environment: Ubuntu Desktop 12.04, Centrify 2012.3


Resolution:

  1. Uncomment and set X11Forawarding to "yes" in /etc/centrifydc/ssh/sshd_config
  2. Restart centrify-ssh (sudo /etc/init.d/centrify-sshd restart)
Verify:
Example connection command
ssh -X -v -v user@server.address

After entering your password you will see the message "X11 forwarding request accepted on channel 0"

Thanks Ryan!
