SSH permission denied

michele_deb · 04-30-2018, 07:22 AM

Hi guys,
I have two Ubuntu virtual machines (a client and a server) connected to the same network, labeled as LAB1, using a Network NAT configuration. Well, after installing openssh on both virtual machines, I have tried to ssh from the client to server typing

Code:

ssh user1@server.com

but I get always the following message(even if the password is right!):

Quote:

Permission denied, please try again

and after 3 times I get:

Quote:

Permission denied (publickey, password)

Why? How can I solve?
Thanks.

Try to add '-v' to give some more verbose messages. this should give a hint on what is wrong:

ssh -v user1@server.com

What is in /home/micheleclient/.ssh/ ??
And the debug suggests port 2222
so what is in /home/micheleclient/.ssh/config

Sanitize if you share.

Dear,
I was able to solve my problem just installing two new virtual machine, one with openssh-client package and the other with the openssh-server package. I was wrong because when I typed: ssh user1@server_machine, the user1 wasn't on the server side! I was using ssh in the wrong way.That's all.
Thanks to all.

Re-installing an entire OS does not "solve" IMO, but it your boxen!
