Hi,
This is my first time posting on Code400 although I have used the site for several years now
We have an iSeries machine on 7.1 which already has an OpenSSH server running on it and I have been tasked with figuring out how to connect our PCs to it as well as eventually connecting one iSeries to another to do SFTP. I have been trying on and off for weeks now and despite following multiple guides online and being able to connect fine, I just cannot login.
In my latest attempts to get it working (using puTTY on PC to our iSeries), I have taken the following set up steps:
When I open the connection I get the following output:
If I enter my correct password, I get this:
So it seems that as well as refusing my key, it will not even accept a legitimate password either. I have also tried connecting from another iSeries and Chrome's Secure Shell app with exactly the same output so this makes me think the problem is on the server-side. It is all the more frustrating as I have done this loads of times with Linux machines and never had any problems!
Has anyone had any similar issue to this and found a solution? Or does anyone have any suggestions of things to try? I have read on some forums about checking the log file for errors but they never mention where it is and I cannot find it so does anyone know where this will be?!
Thanks in advance for any help

In my latest attempts to get it working (using puTTY on PC to our iSeries), I have taken the following set up steps:
- Edited sshd_config to allow RSA and password authentication
- Created .ssh folder in my home directory on iSeries and chmodded to 644
- Created authorized_keys file in .ssh folder as codepage 819 and chmodded to 700
- Created RSA2 key pair using puTTYgen
- Added public key to authorized_keys
- Configured puTTY to use private key and connect as my username
When I open the connection I get the following output:
Code:
Using username "BLAH". Welcome! Please login. Server refused our key SSH server: password Using keyboard-interactive authentication. Enter password for BLAH Password:
Code:
Access denied SSH server: password Using keyboard-interactive authentication. Enter password for BLAH Password:
