[Fixed in 2.6.3] Unable to backup pfSense 2.7.2
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2025 10:04 pm
Trying to configure a backup user in pfSense 2.7.2 to use with Unimus 2.5.1.
The ip 192.168.1.93 is whitelisted in the System > Advanced > Login Protection
SSH access works, but it fails at : SSH: KNOWN_CREDENTIALS_REFUSED
SSH also works manually in Putty
pfSense > System Logs > Authentication
sshd[1065]: Accepted password for backup-user from 192.168.1.93 port 59230 ssh2
sshd[1065]: error: PAM: Authentication error for backup-user from 192.168.1.93
sshd[896]: Connection closed by 192.168.1.93 port 59225
sshd[896]: error: Fssh_kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
backup-user has the following permissions in pfSense (i've added these while trying to fix the issue):
admins WebCfg - All pages
User - System: Shell account access
User - Config: Deny Config Write
I'm at a loss because I can't find any relevant documentation with step-by-step instructions. Another thread that had this issue solved it by whitelisting the IP, but that hasn’t resolved the problem in my case.
