Sure, 5 times, and by two different people.
Is the engine at this stage trying a ssh connection or is it a xml-rpc
connection to vdsm which does then a pam auth?
Hi Duncan,
The engine is trying to initiate a simple SSH connection using the credentials
you gave it (in this case password). There are 2 main issues if Engine fails to
authenticate:
1. Allow root login: you should allow it is it's blocked in sshd_config
(PermitRootLogin yes)
2. Authentication type; there's a difference between password auth' methods the
ssh /server/ supports. For password based auth, these are mainly Keyboard-interactive
and password types (defined in sshd_config file). Please ensure you have
(PasswordAuthentication yes)
as well as (UsePAM yes). Keyboard-interactive type is unsupported currently.
