Description
Discussed in https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/discussions/1022
Originally posted by dca00 October 26, 2022
Among the hosts that I have tried to connect to, through SSH.NET, is a SLES 12 host. I can connect to it through PuTTY but not through SSH.NET. The error is:
"No suitable authentication method found to complete authentication (publickey,keyboard-interactive,hostbased)."
The connection uses user name and password: root/root. I've double and triple-checked that. Connections to other Linux OSs work without issues. Any ideas?

Start with the linked discussion and reproduce the authentication failure against a SLES 12 host, comparing the successful PuTTY connection with SSH.NET's reported authentication methods. The issue names no source files or tests; done requires identifying why password authentication fails or documenting the missing details needed to proceed.
