Password authentication

You must set up password authentication to an SSH server as follows:

1. Log on to a remote process target host as root.
2. Open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
3. Set the value of PasswordAuthentication to "yes". If the PasswordAuthentication line is commented out, remove the comment out hash sign (#).
4. Run the following command and restart sshd service.

   systemctl restart sshd

   Note: These commands can change with different versions of the OS. See the OS documentation for additional information.
