I am using AbsoluteTelnet 7.17 to connect to an OpenVMS V7.3-2 system with SSH2 installed and configured. When I try to logon with a user that has their password expired, there is never a response back to change the password. I have checked SSH2 on VMS and it is set to allow Non-VMS logins with expired passwords.

I try the same logon ID with PUTTY and it works fine. Is there some setting I am missing in AbsoluteTelnet to allow an ID with an expired password to logon and change their password?

Thank you!

Can you try the keyboard-interactive authentication? This is the default in putty.

On Options->Properties->Connection->ssh2->authentication, check the box for keyboard-interactive login, then attempt the login.

If this doesn't help, let me know.

I tried the option for "Use Keyboard-interactive login", but still get no response back to change the password.

I installed a different emulator application to test its response to this situation and it allowed the password change. Seems it has something to do with AbsoluteTelnet. Any ideas for a work-around? Thanks!

What happens exactly when you try to connect with Absolute? Does the connect just fail?

Can you tell me what version of ssh server you're using? To do this, look at the Options->SSH INFO after a successful connection.

When I connect to the server with an ID that has the password expired so that the user will have to change the password on the first logon, I can connect. I enter the ID and password and press enter. Then I should get a message to change the password, but this request never comes. The screen just remains unchanged with no response. No message to change the password ever comes. With other applications such as PUTTY and SecureCRT, the response back to change the password is almost instantaneous. I have attached the screen that shows the SSH INFO. Thank you!
