I downloaded the new release image of Wazuh "4.2" image @  https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/virtual-machine/virtual-machine.html

I successfully login by using user: root ; password: wazuh

Unfortunately, when I tried to login  via ssh with the same credential, the following error displayed:

you might need to create a regular user then sudo when logging in via ssh

Hi alaa.dj, by default root login over ssh is disabled by default. If you want to allow root login over ssh got to /etc/ssh and edit the file sshd_config. Search for the line PermitRootLogin yes and erase the "#" at the beginning of the line. Then restart the ssh service. I hope you find this information useful!
