ssh connection to Windows failes because of wrong user name path

Since a few weeks (I saw August 23 on some servers) the ssh connection for OME on Windows Servers fails. I found this in the eventlog:

sshd: fatal: ga_init, unable to resolve user win\\username

See the double back slash. It's clear to see that Windows can't resolve this.

I don't know exactly when this happened the first time, maybe since the update to Version 3.10.2 (Build 13).

More information: This error appeared after the update to Version 3.10.1 (Build 51). Unfortunately, I have no older snapshot from the VM. Because it seemed to me that the update worked fine, I deleted the snapshot I took before.

MdmBarbarella,

 

I am not certain there is solution based on the information provided, but would you confirm the following so that I may research if there is. 

 

1) Does a re-discover help

2) Are You using a non-standard port for OpenSSH

3) What version of OpenSSH are you using?

 

Let me know and I can see if there are any solutions.

Sorry that I lost this thread.

The problem persists.

- Re-discover doesn't help

- no, we use the standard port 22

- on Server 2019 and higher we use the OpenSSH-version integrated in the OS. On older servers or servers without internet connection wie use the known package from github (version 8.x)

MdmBarbarella,
 
 
My opinion is it's either configuration or something about the user/environment it doesn't like, as I haven't heard of this occurring before. 
What you may want to try is if you use UPN like user@domain.com if it makes a difference instead of Domain\User.
If that doesn't work you may want to call in to the sysmgmt/openmanage group so they can directly analyze the issue.
 
Let me know what you see.

Our domain refuses all LM- and NTLM-traffic but NTLMv2. Maybe that's the problem. The OME appliance is a Linux machine outside the domain, so, the authentication against the domain runs with NTLM per design. OME must use NTLMv2, otherwise the authentication will fail.

A manual login from an Ubuntu 2204 LTS via ssh outside the domain in our environment runs without problems.

On a windows server I see still this error:

sshd: fatal: ga_init, unable to resolve user win\\username

where username ist the name of the service account used by OME. The double backslash is strange. I think, this causes the problem.
