Problem

Logging in through ssh with a key works flawless. But with password the logon is refused.

Environment

This happens only in special UCS environments where the package univention-samba-slave-pdcis installed.
If you do not have this package installed (verify by dpkg -l| grep samba-slave-pdc) this article does not match for your problem.

Password based authentication for ssh is not disabled and should work.

Solution

Restart the Heimdahl Kerberos server by:

/etc/init.d/heimdal-kdc stop
/etc/init.d/heimdal-kdc start
