Hey guys,
I’m trying to connect in one of my EC2 instances, but I get the below error:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)
It seems that the problem is OpenSSH, but I couldn’t find any solution.
Open SSH version: OpenSSH_8.3p1.
Has anyone else faced this problem? Also, I tried this solution but it didn’t work.
It looks like the server prohibits password authentication.
A couple of things here to remember - the default username is “fedora” and the key you used should be associated with that user. Are you logging in as fedora@<ec2 ip address>
$ ssh davdunc@0.235.145.67
davdunc@0.235.145.67: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
$ ssh fedora@0.235.145.67
Last login: Wed Jan 6 21:31:36 2021 from 0.121.188.74I created this EC2 instance for testing purposes and I haven’t set any password.
Why does it try to connect with a password?
This is how I try to connect:
ssh -i "redis-test.pem" ec2-user@ec2-....eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
This EC2 instance is using Amazon Linux 2. According to AWS, the user name should be ec2-user. Am I missing something?
