RE: VS Code

Are you using SSH keys ?

If not you need to enable password authentication.

OK... so the sshd_config rang a bell for me.

We made some changes after a security audit. I have the following at the end of the sshd_config

# Recommended for RDi
# PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no
#LogLevel DEBUG
#LogLevel DEBUG
StrictModes no
AllowTcpForwarding yes
AllowUsers gwilburn jreed

So PasswordAuthentication no is likely the culprit? What about AllowUsers? (the two listed are myself and another programmer)

By default QSECOFR login via SSH is disallowed, if that's what you're trying to do.
You can edit the sshd_config to enable that.

I have a vendor trying to connect to our IBM i system (v7r5) with VS

I started our SSH server, but we are seeing the following error in
QSYSOPR messages and our History Log.

sshd[15191]: fatal: QsyGetProfileHandleNoPwd qsshd CPF22E3 [preauth]
from QSECOFR

Does this connection require pre-shared keys?

TIA,
