Changing key-based authentication to password-based for SSH to Linux VM [Linux]
When creating a VM for Sisense installation in a cloud environment (such as AWS), it is deployed with the default key-based authentication method, meaning it will be required to provide the respective SSH key when performing an SSH connection to the instance. In some cases, you may want to change this authentication method to password-based so that an SSH connection can be established after the password is prompted, rather than after the SSH key is specified. Since Sisense allows both methods, it is useful to understand how to change the authentication method depending on the actual infrastructure needs.
