To use keyboard interactive authentication, it is necessary to setup authentication to a SSH server.

  1. Log on to a remote target host as root.
  2. Open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
  3. Setup keyboard interactive authentication as follows:
    • Set yes to the value of ChallengeResponseAuthentication. (If the line of ChallengeResponseAuthentication is commented out, remove the comment out hash sign (#).)
    • Set yes to the value of UsePAM. (If the UsePAM line is commented out, remove the comment out hash sign (#).)
  4. Run the following command and restart the sshd service. An example command for each supported OS is shown.

    systemctl restart sshd
