Hello,
I am trying to deploy a centos7 vm on Vsphere using packer, and packer is returning the following error: " Packer experienced an authentication error when trying to connect via SSH. This can happen if your username/password are wrong. You may want to double-check your credentials as part of your debugging process. original error: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none password], no supported methods remain".
However, I can connect normally to the vm through ssh using the credentials written in my hcl file.
Could anyone help me with this issue please?
Double check your ks.cfg and HCL/build file. I’ve had this problem before with Ubuntu and its pressed file, the ssh credentials did not match in both files.
I have kind of the same problem, like I run my build locally and everything builds without issue. But when it runs via Jenkins, I get the following errors from the Jenkins agent.

Agent has KVM/QEMU and packer in place
I solved my problem by enabling Inject USB HID scan codes in Vsphere
i’m also facing the same issue while running from jenkins.
could you please explain how did u resolve this issue ?
