Problem with connecting to my PBX using SSH – Authentication failed message although the password is correct?
Usually this issue appears if the sshd (SSH servers at Asterisk box) is not configured properly i.e. is not configured to support password authentication. Some SSH servers by default does not support password authentication. Please make sure that your SSH server supports it. In other words, check that your sshd_config file contains the following line: PasswordAuthentication yes If you find it *exactly* like it is written above, without ‘#’ or any other characters – you are fine. If not, do the following: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config and then change the following line from: # PasswordAuthentication no to PasswordAuthentication yes And last but not least, restart the sshd: service sshd restart It should work now.
