Description The article describes some typical password changing failed reason with SSH Server, and how to debug it.
Scope FortiPAM, Target SSH Server.
Solution

1) Typical Failed scenarios:

 

- Scenario 1: Incorrect username and password configured for secret in PAM.
PAM shows 'LIBSSH2_ERROR_Authentication_Failed'.

- Scenario 2:  SSH Server is unreachable from FortiPAM.
PAM shows 'Connection failure, no routes to host'.

- Password-changer procedure does not match Target SSH Server.
PAM shows 'Not match at step [x]'.

- New generated password by PAM does not meet SSH Server Requirements
PAM can show 'Not match at step [x]' or 'LIBSSH2_ERROR_Authentication_Failed'.

 

2) How to debug password changing?

Run the below command on PAM Shell or console:

 

# diag debug en

# diag wad debug en category pwdchg

# diag wad debug en level verbos

 

After the debug finishes, run the below command to disable debug:

 

# diag wad debug clear

# diag debug disable
