SSH rejecting authentication

[ekan2]

Hi Petros,

I'm happy to say I've found the solution! As we had thought, it turned out to be a relatively minor thing.

This might only apply to an OpenSuse 12.1 installations but to get SSHLocalLoginModule working I needed to modify a line in the ssh config file found here:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

to

 PasswordAuthentication yes

To be honest, I do not know why command line ssh via password worked and Pipeline didn't prior to changing the line above from no -> yes, but the modification made everything work.

I can now connect to my Pipeline server.

Thanks for all your assistance!

Hi Eric,

That's very good news. Actually I was surprised that manual ssh worked, because as far as i know, that flag is for private key authentication. I thought if it is set then no one can use password auth. and only key auth works. That's why I asked you to check if manual ssh works.

Well Congrats and good luck in the future.
