Not able to login to old ssh on Solaris, from cygwin

UNIX Solaris
1

Hello,

I have an old Solaris 10 server, with old SSH version on it.

# uname -a
SunOS prdtst-adm1-prod 5.10 Generic_153153-01 sun4v sparc SUNW,Netra-T5220
# ssh -V
Sun_SSH_1.1.9, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x1000215f
#

One of the user is trying to login via ssh and it is failing in GitBash, which is built on Cygwin. He tried both ways -

/home/mobaxterm # ssh ppetra@prdtst-adm1-admin
/home/mobaxterm # ssh -o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa,ssh-dss ppetra@prdtst-adm1-admin

authlog says "Failed password for ppetra""

Apart from upgrading ssh on server, is there other way or syntax he can be using to login?
Advise please

Thanks

Look at the authlog message "Failed password for ppetra"". It's entirely possible it's not an ssh incompatibility issue. It could be that ppetra's password has expired.

Password is good. He can login directly with putty. But when he tries to login with mobaxterm/cygwin, it is failing.

So if he can do a SSH login from Putty but not from mobaxterm/cygwin with an error complaining about password, I'd be looking at the mobaxterm/cygwin configuration(s) for setup errors, e.g. protocol settings.

@solaris_1977 ,

can others (you perhaps) login using those tools?, if so then there's most likely something wrong specifically with user X's configuration as intimated by @hicksd8
