Waiting for SSH to become available...

[Sonali Prasad]

Hi Team, 

Can anyone help me with the issue with hcpacker:

==> vsphere-iso.linux-ubuntu-server: Waiting for SSH to become available...
==> vsphere-iso.linux-ubuntu-server: Error waiting for SSH: Packer experienced an authentication error when trying to connect via SSH. This can happen if your username/password are wrong. You may want to double-check your credentials as part of your debugging process. original error: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none password], no supported methods remain

==> vsphere-iso.linux-ubuntu-server: Step "StepConnect" failed

Regards,

Please check the ssh user and password as it is not able to authenticate the user, meanwhile you can share the json file content here

Please check the path of the ssh keys.We had similar issue and we resolved with

Giving correct permission for the script which was pulling ssh keys from GCP storage

Verify the path of the ssh keys

I have created the ssh-key on my terminal and used it under cloud-init/user-data file.
I am calling ssh-username and ssh-password for logging in to the machine.
Could you please share your sample code with me, where you are giving the ssh key path?

ssh-username and password are the one which we create right ? 
I am using hcl code:

This is just a dummy username and password. 
I believe this is the place where we create the username and password right ?
