IBM i Connection issue

[Mef08051015]

I'm trying to connect to a Client's IBM i and get the error message "Not Connected xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx All configured Authentication Methods Failed" My User Id is part of the QPGMR Group and AllowUserGroups qpgmr is in the sshd_config. I have stopped and restarted the sshd server. I can connect with a User Profile with All Object Authority.

What authorities are required to connect? I have successfully connected to my IBM i using a QPGMR Group User Id with the same authorities as my Client's System.

@Mef08051015 the next best thing to try is to try connecting using ssh from the command line instead. That will help you/us diagnose issues faster.

Here's the result from the command line:

You need to use ssh on your local machine, not the IBM i.

There are some requirements to be able to start a SSH session.

A valid Shell is set
If you set your profile to Bash but Bash doesn't exist, then you are also not able to login
CALL QSYS2.SET_PASE_SHELL_INFO('*CURRENT', '/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/bash')
You should be the owner of your home directory
Only you should have write permission to your home directory

Thank you so much Andreas, that was it. After setting the Shell and adding AlloweUsers to the ssd_config file for myself and the other programmers, everything works perfectly.
