SSH permission denied on correct password authentication
Server's /etc/ssh/sshd_config
file:
To enable password authentication, uncomment
#PasswordAuthentication yes
To enable root login, uncomment
#PermitRootLogin yes
To enable SSH key login, uncomment
#PubkeyAuthentication yes #AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
I believe (1) is what you're looking for.
I figured it out. As a last ditch effort I was going to attempt to ssh into the server via the IP address instead of the domain name. When I did an ifconfig
on the server to get the IP I realized it was different than it was yesterday.
Turns out I forgot to set a static IP address on the server when I created it and trying to ssh to devilsmilk
was still mapped to the old IP address on the DNS server. So I set a static IP address on the server and updated the A record with the new IP address and it works fine.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Try restarting the sshd service:
service --full-restart sshd
