When deploying robot on SUSE using ADE, you might see an error like this in ADE log:

Environment:
SUSE Robot installation
Installation through ADE probe
Cause:
Password Authentication was not enabled. Hence, ADE authentication was not working.

Enable/uncomment and set the following key in /etc/ssh/ssdh_config:
PasswordAuthentication yes
Then restart the sshd service
# service sshd restart
Now, your ADE authentication will work.
