Spacebridge Tunnel requesting pubkey,password

[Manuel_Godoy]

Hi,

I am using a Hologram SIM card in a MOXA oncell G3150A Gateway. I set up this gateway to allow inbound communications. After running the following command:

ssh -p 999 -L 5000:link{mylink}:22 -N -i spacebridge.key htunnel@tunnel.hologram.io

I open a different terminal and I run

ssh pi@127.0.0.1 -p 5000 -v

I get the following:

When I type my pi’s password it gives me this error:

Permission denied, please try again.

So it looks like I need to give it a publickey. I tried copying and pasting the spacebridge.key.pub but no luck. Same problem would happen if I run the Spacebridge Tunnel Client software. Could you help me solve this?

You should be able to login using whatever method you normally use to login to your pi. If you haven’t changed your password yet, the default is “raspberry”

[Manuel_Godoy]

Hi Reuben,

Thanks for your reply. Typing my password is not working. As you can see it looks like it is expecting a publickey along with the password:

debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
Permission denied, please try again.

[Reuben]

Yeah that’s normal for SSH. It’s usually configured to try a public key but that doesn’t mean that the key actually exists. Are you able to ssh into your pi from the local network over ethernet or wifi? What do you use to do that?

[Reuben]

Here’s an example from my own pi:

debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering RSA public key: /home/pi/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
debug1: Trying private key: /home/pi/.ssh/id_dsa

debug1: Trying private key: /home/pi/.ssh/id_ed25519
debug1: Next authentication method: password
pi@reuben-pi's password:

Permission denied, please try again.

When I type my password wrong I get the same message as you about publickey being allowed, but then when I type it correct I am logged in.

[Manuel_Godoy]

Yes I am able to do it locally. I have done it hundreds of times. But hmm that’s interesting, why would it not take my password this time? I also tried raspberry just to see.

I use ssh pi@{pi_ipaddress}

[Reuben]

Hmm very strange. Usually if there’s a spacebridge issue then you won’t even get the password prompt. Not sure what would be going on that it wouldn’t connect at all.

Does the server host key match in that output between the spacebridge connection and the local one?
