Solution  1010893.1 :   Sun Fire[TM] V40z/V20z ssh to SP fails with "Unable to find an authentication method"  


PreviouslyPublishedAs
215032

Symptoms
An attempt to ssh to the SP on a V40z or V20z fails as follows:

# ssh -l admin v40z-sp
Unable to find an authentication method

Resolution

The only method that the sp recognizes is password authentication.  If this is set to "no" in the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file the ssh to the sp will fail.
# grep -i password /etc/ssh/ssh_config
PasswordAuthentication no
The way to fix this is to either comment the line out thus setting it back to the default of yes or to change the line to yes.
# grep -i password /etc/ssh/ssh_config
#   PasswordAuthentication no
# grep -i password /etc/ssh/ssh_config
PasswordAuthentication yes
