SSH-Error

[it-fabric]

Hi,

I'm new to FreeNAS and trying to setup a replication task from FreeNAS (11.3-U2) to my secondary NAS. Setting up an SSH-connection with keys from secondary NAS.
It seems that I can specify whatever I want is resulting in:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

middlewared.service_exception.CallError: [EFAULT] AuthenticationException('Authentication failed.')

Any advice? Thanks in advance!

What exactly are you specifying?

CallError: [EFAULT] AuthenticationException('Authentication failed.')

I think you need to submit the correct authentication... seems the system thinks that you are not.

@sretalla
Thanks for the reply, here yo go
- Source location: On this System (selction of datasets in a pool)
- Destination location: On a different System (select SSH Connection = SSH-Test)
- SSH-Test: Name = SSH-Test, Host = Target-IP, Port = 22, Username = admin (is equivalent to root on target system and has rights for SSH), Private Key = exported Private Key from target system, Remote Host Key = discovered key, Cipher = Fast, Connect Timeout = 10
That's it for the connection.

I was having this issue as well and I finally figured out my solution, not sure if this is your issue, but maybe this will help anyone viewing this thread in the future.

In sum, the ssh key pair on the client system must correspond to root's public key on the remote system.
Make sure the SSH Connection you setup uses that SSH Keypair.

I mistakenly thought the key pairs needed to be the same on both systems in the System > SSH Kepairs section in the GUI. TrueNAS-12.0-U8
