Hi there! I am trying to access my machine at work with PuTTY (the latest version) and I keep obtaining "access denied"... though, I can connect from any machine running Linux... so... what's wrong in this picture? :) Regards, Radu
Hi !
I am trying to access my machine at work with PuTTY (the latest version) and I keep obtaining "access denied"... though, I can connect from any machine running Linux... so... what's wrong in this picture? :)
--> You are using access by password not by key-pairs, are you ? I had a similar problem: connection with PuTTY or the SSH.COM Win-Client with password don't work but it works with secret key. With a Linux client both method works. In my case, it was due to a configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config where I had a combination of: # To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here! PasswordAuthentication no # Set this to 'yes' to enable PAM authentication (via # challenge-response) and session processing. Depending on your PAM # configuration, this may bypass the setting of # 'PasswordAuthentication' UsePAM yes If you put "UsePAM no" then password authentication will not work with Linux client either. So you have two choices: PasswordAuthentication no UsePAM no --> Password authentication will not be possible PasswordAuthentication yes UsePAM no/yes --> Password authentication will work with both Windows and Linux clients. Hope this helps you !

Security got tighter? Check the tcp wrappers settings, perhaps the host isn't allowed to connect. root may not be allowed to login by default. The user you're trying to login as may not be listed as one, or from a host, which is allowed to login - /etc/ssh/sshd.config.

This might be a simple charset Problem. Do you use special Characters, such as §$/$%/%&/( ???? Then try out if authentication works after chanching PW to AAA. Just my 2 ct. Dirk Volker Kuhlmann schrieb:

Hi !

--> I don't think this is the problem because it works fine with the Linux client and the same user/password on the remote side. See my first answer for an explanation of how to solve it.

probably protocol 1 vs protocol 2 No, no, no. In this case it is just a new default value - password authentication is disabled on SuSE 9.0. Due to still active pam (keyboard interactive) authentication mechanism, it works from linux clients, but not from windows clients like putty. (I already wrote that some days ago). Please don't post inappropriate guesses if the right answer was already

Markus, I am sorry if I'm offending you in any way, but simply clicking the "Ssh V2" checkbox in PUTTY - does the trick :)) Markus Gaugusch wrote:
