  • Can you add the output you get when you attempt to log in and the certificate is refused ? use ssh -vvv -p 1907 jdoe@myserver Also, is your home folder local or remote (NFS...) or maybe encrypted ? Commented Nov 17, 2017 at 11:34
  • As A.B points out, the SSH server logs will show much more information than verbosely running ssh. It would be useful to edit your questions to include the relevant entries from the SSH server logs (could also be /var/log/secure, depending on distribution).

  • Thanks for your replies, I will include my logs next time I have access to the machine (I hope it will be today). Commented Nov 17, 2017 at 13:21

    I didn't mention that my home is encrypted. I think this is my problem. Is there any workaround? Commented Nov 17, 2017 at 13:22
  • Unsure what you mean by Passwordless Server. You've set, PasswordAuthentication no + PermitRootLogin prohibit-password, so it appears you'll have to login as non-root person, using a keyfile (so /etc/passwd + /etc/shadow will be ignored). Maybe you can clarify how you'd like to login + someone can assist you. Commented Nov 17, 2017 at 14:05
