How to connect via ssh with a password?

Question

SSH

There is an Ubuntu server on Amazon. During installation, CMS requires you to enter your SSH login and password

. I entered 127.0.0.1 in the IP address.
But now you can only connect to the server using a pem file. How to set up SSH so that you can log in to 127.0.0.1 using your login and password? Or, at least from a public IP...

Answer 1

Change to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
to:
PasswordAuthentication yes

Answer 2

On Ubuntu, root does not have a password, so login by default is not possible under it, even if it is allowed in the ssh server settings. So first you need to give the root a good, strong password. Then log in, making sure that root login is allowed in the server config (PermitRootLogin yes) ;)
