I just created an EC2 instance to host my Django project and I'm trying to connect to the instance via PuTTY because I'm using Windows 10 (company PC).

I've tried to follow the documentation steps with Amazon Linux and Ubuntu Server 18.04 distros and I always get the following error from PuTTY:

Connection blocked because server only allows public key authentication. Please contact your network administrator.

Event Log: Remote side sent disconnect message type 2 (protocol error): "Connection blocked because server only allows public key authentication. Please contact your network administrator."

What I've already tried:

  • The security group is open to the world (all traffic);
  • The username is correct;
  • The key was converted from .pem to .ppk
  • The key converted was setted on SSH > Auth;
  • I'm on a open network without restrictions;
  • I've tried to use mobaxterm too (via GUI and via command line) to use the .pem original file - same error;

I'm thinking, after tried a different SSH tool, that could be some EC2 config detail...

I'm stuck on this to host my project. Can anybody guide me to a solution?

Thanks!

Googling the error message, the first two relevant hits both claim the problem was due to an SSH inspection on a firewall.


That would explain the behavior. As while the server claims to be "OpenSSH" (and the actual server is probably OpenSSH), OpenSSH does not have any error message like "Connection blocked because server only allows public key authentication. Please contact your network administrator". It must be some intermediate server/device that acts on the behalf of the real OpenSSH server that injects the error message.
