I have an instance on OpenStack installed with CentOS-7-x86_64 that is accessed using putty, the pem file which was converted to ppk file using the puttygen, worked fine and provided passwordless access to the machine using putty with the default username "centos" but recently has stopped working with this username. The key still works for the root user.I tried copying the public key again in the authorized_keys but that turned out to be not fruitful either. Question:
- Is this the issue with the keypair file.
- Have the username ssh files been modified in some way
- is this issue resolvable.
I am open to provide any information that may be required to understand this.
