Why can't I SSH into my host machines?

When you try to SSH into a host machine that is assigned in Satellite, you see a message similar to the following.

Permission denied, please try again.

After the host is successfully assigned to a Satellite location control plane or cluster, Satellite disables the ability to SSH into the host for security purposes.

You cannot SSH into the host. If you need to modify settings on host machines in a cluster, try deploying a daemon set, such as in the Tuning performance example.

If you remove a host from your location or remove the entire location, you must reload the machine in your host infrastructure provider to SSH into the host again.
