[Bug]: WebSSH2 error: Authentication failure user=root from=103.170.221.89 #320

What happened?

I'm not able to get a web terminal as mentioned in the repository, I enter the username and password created for a linux user, but still I get Authentication error. I tried it across multiple versions like main, current, latest and multiple deployments like test, production. But the issue still persists.

Steps I followed till now are

  1. cloning the repository, cd app/
  2. git checkout latest or git checkout latest, then npm install or npm install --production, The issue exists on all versions & install versions
  3. Setting PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, refered stackoverflow
  4. creating users with password, using sudo useradd username -p password
  5. Entering the exactly same username and password in website at url http:///ssh/host/, where is the public ip address of Instance where i have webssh2 running.

But it doesn't work, It doesnt allow me to login and gives error such as 'WebSSH2 error: Authentication failure user=root from=103.170.221.89'

Please Help
