Bad authentication type; allowed types: [u'publickey'][/CODE]
by LinuxRSA from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PB64)
Hi All
I have a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server we monitoring.
The monitoring application is able to reach and work on 50 other servers besides the one below.
It gives the following error in the logs when trying to connect.
Code: General Exception Occurred: Bad authentication type; allowed types: [u'publickey']The app comunicates to the server via ssh.
Authentication is managed via active directory so credentials are consistent.
These are the entries in my /var/log/auth log.
