I have an interceptor board with a Lite CM4 module booting the OMV Interceptor Raspberry Pi CM4 OS Image. It boots up fine I can login from the console fine as well as the OMV Workbench with the same login and password I can not however login to SSH with putty. Putty connects but gives me an access denied when I use the same info. If I run Desktop Interceptor Raspberry Pi CM4 OS Image on the same board and cm4 module all three ways to login work fine. What are your thoughts on why the login does not work in putty

Hello @Gordon Gerard,
I understand you're looking to enable SSH access on your OpenMediaVault (OMV) system. SSH is disabled by default for security reasons, but you can easily enable it through the OMV web interface.
Here's a quick guide to get you started:
Log into the OMV Web Interface: Use your admin credentials to access the OMV web dashboard.
Navigate to Services: Find the 'SSH' option under the 'Services' section.
Enable SSH: There will be an option to enable the SSH service. Make sure to check or toggle this option to 'On'.
Configure SSH Settings: You can also configure additional SSH settings here, such as disabling root login, enabling public key authentication, and more, according to your security preferences.
Add User to SSH Group: If you haven't already, ensure that your user (in this case, you're using the default 'admin' account) is added to the 'ssh' group within the 'User' settings to allow SSH access.
Apply Changes: Don't forget to save and apply your changes. OMV might prompt you to apply pending changes if you navigate away from the page.
Please ensure that you're following best practices for SSH security, such as using strong passwords, employing public key authentication, and possibly changing the default SSH port to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
For a more detailed guide and additional SSH configuration options, you might find the OpenMediaVault documentation and community forums helpful. Here are a couple of resources that could assist you further:
