Ssh – Is it possible to use “authorized_keys” to ssh into Cisco ASA 5510

Try ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=yes -o PreferredAuthentications=keyboard-interactive,password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no host.example.org

In ssh v2, keyboard-interactive is another way to say "password". The -o PubkeyAuthentication=no option instructs the client not to attempt key pair authentication.

In addition, the PasswordAuthentication=yes option is to override any previously configured ssh options that may have disabled it.

It took some trial and error, but I found out how to make this work. I had to create a new class-map for the new access-lists, but once I did that, everything seemed to work fine.

Here's the relevant portions of the final config, for reference:
