Connections fail with error Too many Authentication Failures
PrivX connects using all the available credentials (such as certificate, public key, and stored credentials). For target users who allow many roles, the OpenSSH MaxAuthTries
may be exceeded before PrivX offers the correct authentication method.
To fix the error, increase the MaxAuthTries
in the target-host OpenSSH configuration, reload the target-host OpenSSH server config, then try connecting again.
