Disconnected; Authentication Error
The "Disconnected; Authentication Error (No further authentication methods available.)"
message indicates that none of the methods
that have been used to authenticate you to the server have been
successful.
A relatively common situation is one where the remote host computer is
expecting public-key authentication to be used and you have not sent
your public key to the host. You can do this by following the
instructions in Section Uploading Your Public Key.
This error is also produced if the system's name server is
not doing reverse lookups correctly. Ask your system administrator to
configure the name server to do reverse lookups properly.
If this is not possible, the system administrator has to edit the file
/etc/ssh2/sshd2_config
on the Secure Shell server and change
the RequireReverseMapping
setting to no
.
This is a common problem for modem connections. Typical modem
connections use dynamic IP addresses. This means that the IP address
changes from one connection to another, and these dynamic IP addresses
have no permanent name server entries in the Domain Name System (DNS).
If this is the case, you will have to ask your service provider to edit
the sshd2_config
file on the Secure Shell server.
