Getting Authentication failure error even when I am passing username and password in config.json

Below is the error:

The config is:

Please let me know how can it be fixed?

Try enabling debug for the ssh2 module and see what it says. Also you should check the auth logs on the server you're attempting to log into. Historically people try to login as root with a password, but that is usually disabled for SSH.

To enable debug for the ssh2 module with this project, run it like so:

DEBUG=ssh2 npm run start

The output should be something like this (successful login):

Aug 22 10:45:06 sshtest sshd[454]: Disconnected from authenticating user root 192.168.0.131 port 61166 [preauth]

Relevant section from /etc/ssh/sshd_config may look something like one of the following:

# PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
PermitRootLogin no

Some distros disable this by default (and for good reason). I don't recommend changing this in practice but for testing on non-production it's fine I suppose. Change to:

PermitRootLogin yes

and restart sshd, it should now be successful...

Otherwise, we'll look at your log outputs and see what the server or the ssh2 module is complaining about.

You can also increase verbosity of the ssh2 server logs (I recommend this if the above doesn't fix it), in /etc/ssh/sshd_config by uncommenting/adding or replacing the LogLevel option to DEBUG3:

LogLevel DEBUG3

The auth log from the server will now be chock full of information that may or may not be helpful:
