RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
If the user in provision is authenticated with ssh_key, then use "reset password" feature to add a new user that is authenticated with password, I cannot use the new user to access to the VM from other hosts because of "Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)." If I execute "service sshd reload" on the VM, then I can use the new user to access to the VM from other hosts with password.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
WALinuxAgent-2.0.18-rc4(upstream)
WALinuxAgent-2.0.16-1
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a VM with WALinuxAgent installed. The new user must be authenticated with ssh_key while provisioning.
2. On portal, use "reset password" to add a new user which is authenticated with password.
3. Try to use the new user to access to the VM from other hosts.
4. Execute "service sshd reload" on the VM, then rerun step 3.
Actual results:
In step 3, we cannot use the new user to access to the VM from other hosts because of "Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)."
In step 4, we can use the new user to access to the VM from other hosts.
Expected results:
Without executing "service sshd reload" manually, we can use the new user to access to the VM from other hosts.
Additional info:
It seems that "PasswordAuthentication" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config is changed from "no" to "yes", but the sshd service is not reloaded.

Does that mean that it still exists in the 2.1.5 rebase?

Actually, I think it is not related to WALinuxAgent, but only an issue of an extension named "VMAccessForLinux". This is an independent tool which is only called by WALA.
This issue is not fixed now so I haven't closed it. But I think the WALA team don't need to do anything for that.
Version:
WALinuxAgent-2.1.6
Steps:
1. Prepare a VM with WALinuxAgent installed. The new user must be authenticated with ssh_key while provisioning.
2. On portal, use "reset password" to add a new user which is authenticated with password.
3. Try to use the new user to access to the VM from other hosts.
Results:
We can use the new user to access to the VM from other hosts.
So verified.
