I'm trying to connect my host machine which is of Ubuntu (ctrlnode is user) to remote machine which is of RHEL (rhelnode1 is user) on AWS and when I try to connect my a user (rhelnode1) on remote machine it show error msg "Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password)"
I have changed the config file (rhelnode1)for the ssh server and restart the server
I have added the remote user (rhelnode1) in VISUDO file
I have added my host machine (ctrlnode) public key in remote machine (rhelnode1) with the permission (700) for ".ssh" and (600) for "authorized_keys"
