how to connect windows azure virtual machine with ubuntu system correctly?

i have created a virtual machine with ubuntu installed, and tring to connect to it with PuTTY, but after typing account and password, the command window output the following:

Access Denied

i am novice for windows azure and ubuntu, any help?

Solution

  • After investigating 3 hours, i find what i am trying is on the bad way. so i put down my conclusion:

    there are 2 ways in azure portal for creating windows azure virtual machine: 1.called "QUICK CREATE", in this way we will not provide its ssh key for authentication; just use a default aka fixed user name: azureuser, and the password you provide. 2."FROM GALLERY", you have to provide ssh key for authentication for login successfully.

    I created my vm via the "QUICK CREATE", but i am using the wrong user name(it should be "azureuser") to login, so show me the message "Access Denied".

    hope helped.
