connection error

[John192]

Hi,


While trying to connect TN5250 mochasoft from VS Code, I am getting below error despite giving correct user name and password :-

"Too many authentication failures."


Any idea how can this error be corrected?



Thanks...

It sounds like the profile is disabled. Once disabled, it doesn't matter how many times your use the correct password, you can't log on until it is re-enabled.

Thanks, i got this error now when i tried to connect through VS Code where as I was giving the same credentials which I give when I try to connect TN5250 Mochasoft.

"Not connected to IP address( the ip address to which I am trying to connect) Max identification string size exceeded."




so even if my profile is disabled isn't there any way or process by which i could get it enabled and then retry logging in to IBM i through VS code?



Thanks...

This error usually means two things:

• SSHD has not been started on the IBM i. You can start it with STRTCPSVR *SSHD
• The port you are providing is not the SSH port. By default, it's 22.
