Description

We are using product version - 2020.0.0-beta1 and getting below error randomly :

Permission denied (password). - trace - at Renci.SshNet.ClientAuthentication.Authenticate(IConnectionInfoInternal connectionInfo, ISession session)
at Renci.SshNet.ConnectionInfo.Authenticate(ISession session, IServiceFactory serviceFactory)
at Renci.SshNet.Session.Connect()
at Renci.SshNet.BaseClient.CreateAndConnectSession()
at Renci.SshNet.BaseClient.Connect()

Most of the time code works but it throws exception intermittently.

Research direction

Start with the stack-trace entry point, Renci.SshNet.ClientAuthentication.Authenticate, and trace the connection flow through ConnectionInfo.Authenticate and Session.Connect. Reproduce the intermittent failure with product version 2020.0.0-beta1 and document the conditions that trigger it; done means the cause is isolated and the fix is verified against the intermittent authentication error.
