Wow! That must have been a tough one @Pankaj.1207. How did you resolve it?

Re: Exhausted available authentication methods

Pankaj.1207 — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 20:43:31 GMT

@cjervis this issues have been killing me big time. After so much of investigation i found out that we have to edit the file "10-perfmgmt" under "/etc/sudoers.d"( I am using rhel 5) by adding the below lines:-

root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

userid ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD:ALL

Note - userid is the id through which you are logging to your linux box

You have to login as "another user" by giving your id and password and yes you are done. It won't fail again with the error "Exhausted available......" . I mean that's what happened with me.

Give a try..

Thanks!

If the solution did not work for you, we'll need more information before we can help. What are you trying to do, what goes wrong (include specific log messages if possible) and what have you tried to do to fix the issue?

The " Exhausted available authentication methods" exception indicates that there is a misconfiguration on the host whereby the user specified cannot authenticate via SSH.

Hi, i have the same problem, but cannot find the file "10-perfmgmt" on the "/etc/sudoers.d". Can you tell the steps to solve this?

thank you

Re: Exhausted available authentication methods

Jaimaru — Sun, 27 Sep 2015 23:22:00 GMT

Done, used nano editor

Re: Exhausted available authentication methods

bigrka — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 01:14:42 GMT

I could not find the file "10-perfmgmt" under "/etc/sudoers.d"

So created a new one and added lines below

root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

userid ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD:ALL

But i still could not figure it out..any help will be greatly appreciated

Re: Exhausted available authentication methods

Pankaj.1207 — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 06:56:51 GMT

You need to enter the "userid" through which you are logging in your linux box. You can try editing /etc/sudoers also with the above parameteres.

Thanks.

Hi, I am using CDH 5.4.3 vm to install cloudera manager. But while installing through web console(localhost:7180) I am facing the following error 2016-09-03 09:59:12,012 WARN NodeConfiguratorThread-5-0:com.cloudera.server.cmf.node.NodeConfigurator: Could not authenticate to localhost net.schmizz.sshj.userauth.UserAuthException: Exhausted available authentication methods at net.schmizz.sshj.SSHClient.auth(SSHClient.java:232) at net.schmizz.sshj.SSHClient.auth(SSHClient.java:208) at com.cloudera.server.cmf.node.NodeConfigurator.connect(NodeConfigurator.java:341) at com.cloudera.server.cmf.node.NodeConfigurator.configure(NodeConfigurator.java:889) at com.cloudera.server.cmf.node.NodeConfigurator.run(NodeConfigurator.java:935) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) In my centos vm I do not have any file named 10-perfmgmt under /etc/sudoers.d. So I created one file and add the following lines root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL userid ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD:ALL Now my question is, what user id should I write here in order to avoid the error. I am using a vm player and logging as 'training' here. My superuser is 'root'. Why am I getting this error, what is the actual solution for it. Please help me onthis.

Hi,

I am able to fix the "Exhausted available authentication methods method" issue the way you suggested. thanks for that. But now I am facing another issue while installing cloudera manager agent. Below is the error message:

Error: Package: cloudera-manager-agent-5.8.1-1.cm581.p0.7.el6.x86_64 (cloudera-manager)
Requires: portmap
Error: Package: cloudera-manager-agent-5.8.1-1.cm581.p0.7.el6.x86_64 (cloudera-manager)
Requires: mod_ssl
Error: Package: cloudera-manager-agent-5.8.1-1.cm581.p0.7.el6.x86_64 (cloudera-manager)
Requires: httpd

yum install is not soilving my problem since I dont have the repos for portmap, mod_ssl and httpd. Not sure how to install them direcltly from online since I am not getting the correct repo / mirror address.

Looking forward for your cooperation.

On Ubuntu,

Edit :

/etc/sudoers

Add on the end of file:

userid ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD:ALL

Instead of userid put your usernam with sudo privileges.
