Authentication mehod and xagent [1]

Dear Netsarang-Team.

I have some servers on which I can only authenticate over username & password.

I have assumed that when I setup in

'Connection > Authenticaton'
Method: Password

xshell and xagent does not try to use the public key authentication method similar like the ssh command.

ssh -v -o PasswordAuthentication=yes -o PreferredAuthentications=password ...

This assumation was wrong.

for this server I have setuped the authentication method password.

Thanks for yor help

Program Ver. : Xshell 4

To avoid such situation, please try disabling the Xagent option in the session properties. Xagent only works with public key authentication method. To do this, go to the SSH page in the session properties and then, disable the Use Xagent (SSH agent) for handling passphrase option.
