Attempting to connect with an SSH key is leading to "too many authentication failures" error.

When I try to connect to my VM with an SSH key, I am recieving the "too many authentication failures" error. How can I fix this?

For SSH access to Ubuntu virtual machines:

  • Add an SSH key pair to the user Ubuntu.
  • Ensure you are providing the private key matching the imported public key in Hyperstack.

For example:

  • If the imported SSH key is: .ssh/id_rsa.pub
  • The corresponding SSH command for connection may look similar to: ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa ubuntu@<public-ip>
