Putty ssh pro#
What I can tell you for certain is (1) the authentication credentials on these two UI pages are different and (2) the use of the "root" username coupled with the password specified on the page I depicted above result in successful access to the UDM Pro console when using PowerShell commands.

My understanding is that the device authentication credentials on the page you cited are for SSH connection to access points and other network devices, whereas the credentials at the page I depicted here in this post are for SSH connection to the UDM Pro console itself. This is different from the configuration for device access located at the UniFi OS > Network page that you depicted in your post above. I use the username that's listed in the UniFi Controller under Settings - Site - SSH AuthenticationĪceoOfSpades, the SSH configuration setting for console access is at UnifiOS > Settings > Advanced in the UI: To clarify, I'm connecting with Putty to an access point. And it's at the password submission that the OS Console returns the "Access denied" authentication error when conducting the SSH session via either PuTTY or plink.
Putty ssh manual#
While it does appear it's possible to manually implement key authentication, my understanding is that the manual configuration will not survive a reboot.Īs a result, I have been authenticating using a password. Here is a related link to a thread in the UniFi community forum: I use Putty ver 0.66 and the only thing I need to add for Auth is the Private Key fileĪre you using PuTTY and Private Key authentication to SSH into a UniFi OS Console? It's my understanding that Private Key authentication is not supported in the UniFi OS Console. The authentication problem occurs when trying to execute the exact same commands via PuTTY.

Text ssh and authentication to the UniFi OS Console is successful when executing this command in Windows Terminal/PowerShell.
Putty ssh software#
I'm trying to create a script to gracefully shut down my UDM Pro as part of a scripted shutdown routine to be run by the APC PowerChute agent software that communicates with my Smart-UPS.
