What should I do if "Check sshd_config parameter configuration" is displayed during the installation of the eMRS server software?

1.      Log in to the local server as the root user.

2.      Right-click in the blank on the desktop and choose Open in Terminal from the shortcut menu. The command line window is displayed.

3.      Run the following command to check whether the configuration is correct.

cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Check the value of PasswordAuthentication.

·        If the value is yes, the configuration is correct. Contact technical support.

·        If the value is no, the configuration is incorrect. Go to the next step.

4.      Run the following command to stop the current SSH service:

service sshd stop

Shutting down SSH daemon                                                 done

5.      Open and edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Change the value of PasswordAuthentication from no to yes.

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PasswordAuthentication   yes

After the value is changed, press Esc to exit from the edit state. Then run the following command to save and close the file.

:wq

6.      Run the following command to start the SSH service.
