I am the admin of a Ubuntu 20.04 server and I want to enable ssh
login for a user through password, rather than using key pairs.
The /etc/ssh/ssh_config
file on the host looks like this (<username>
is replaced by its actual username):
Host* SendEnv LANG LC_* HashKnownHosts yes GSSAPIAuthentication yesMatch User <username> PubkeyAuthentication no PreferredAuthentications password PasswordAuthentication yes
Still, when he tries to login as:
ssh \<username>@\<host>
he receive an error:
Permission denied (publickey)
What am I doing wrong?
