Is there a way to log into an EC2 ubuntu ami or a way to set up an ubuntu ami so that non-root users can log in? I tried creating a user and logging in with the associated password. I also tried using the private key, copied the authorized-keys file into the .ssh directory of the non-root user’s home directory and tried to log in to the box with that user account id. Neither method worked.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure you are sending your AWS keypair as the identity file, i.e.
Also check that SSH is enabled in your security group
