[SOLVED] Disabling GSSAPI Authentication

johnpedou · 12-22-2016, 04:30 PM

Hello everyone, I am trying to copy some files from my chef server on to my client with the command in the format of :

Quote:

scp -pr root@chefserver:/etc/chef/admin.pem ~/chef-repo/.chef/

But I keep getting this error:

Quote:

Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).

I found some solutions online and tried implementing them by going into my client machine's /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config files and setting

Quote:

GSSAPI Authentication=no

but the problem still persists. I would greatly value other people's input.

This is the correct line:

Code:

GSSAPIAuthentication=no

You have an extra space after GSSAPI.

That was a typo on my part. It didn't even end up being the issue. I had to set Password Authentication to yes. The issue was resolved.
