Nevermind. I found the solution. Maybe you can add it to your Documentation

I use openssh 5.3

change the following in sshd_config

UsePAM yes
ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication no


This will work

To add on this. The server is requesting for a new password. See first post. But it only works using SSH. Not over WinSCP


I meant openssh (openssh-5.3)

No, it says that WinSCP supports password change request initiated by the server. So your server probably does not support this.

WinSCP not prompting for new Password

Hi

As per this website (https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_authenticate#password_change) it says that it should prompt for a new password when the account has been disabled. Somehow it does not work on my system:

I have disabled an account on the sftp server

When trying to login via SSH it prompts for a new password

WARNING: Your password has expired.
You must change your password now and login again!
Changing password for user ex2m3.
Changing password for ex2m3.
(current) UNIX password:

But in WinSCP i just get the error
Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?

Any ideas how I can fix that?
