Management Server SSH Access Denied

We deployed a cloud template with a management server and gateways. I've not done a setup from scratch before and am having issues getting proper ssh access to the management server so I can pull logs and run some debugging tools. I can get to expert via the cli in the gaia web portal but not via something like putty./

We are running R80.40 on latest hotfix

I used clish to reset the admin password and save config so I know I've got the correct admin password.

I've checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config and made sure password authentication is yes under the match 0.0.0.0 statement. I've made sure to restart the sshd service after changing it.

Whenever I try to login as admin, I get an access denied. I'm not sure which log is going to provide the best info, but I do see under /var/log/audit/audit.log that the admin account is ussing sshd with a "res=failed"

Any idea why I'm I'm getting access denied on ssh login?

Which cloud platform?

Some default to other auth mechanisms for the gateways atleast and require specific changes e.g. AWS refer sk109587.

Running in AWS. I'm looking at that SK you provided now. Instead of modifying it to use password, I'll try to take a stab at setting up keypair auth real quick and see if that resolves the issue, Thanks!

Ended up using that article to allow password auth, so that I could get in and setup keypair auth, then revert to only allowing keypair. Thanks!
