How to disable Public Key Authentication (PubkeyAuthentication=no) for a specific SSH connection?

Feature Requests Royal TSX (for macOS)
1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to SSH into an Aruba controller using Royal TSX, but I keep getting a "Too many authentication failures" error. This happens because my Mac automatically sends all my saved SSH keys, and the server blocks me before I can even enter my password.

In the standard macOS Terminal, I can fix this by adding -o PubkeyAuthentication=no to force a password login.

Is there a way to add this parameter or completely disable public key authentication for a specific SSH connection in Royal TSX?

Thanks!

Hi,
You should be able to resolve your issue by entering -o PubkeyAuthentication=no as an additional SSH option. You can do that here in the properties of the connection:

Does that help?

Yes, that worked perfectly! Adding the -o PubkeyAuthentication=no option exactly where you showed in the screenshot solved the issue. Thank you for the quick and helpful response!
