AWS Distributed Deployment sensor not connecting

[out-n-about]

Hello,

I'm setting up a distributed SO instance in AWS cloud to test with. I have both instances in the same VPC and subnet and allowed them to communicate with each other in AWS Security Groups.

The Manager installed fine as a ManagerSearch node. I installed the sensor as sensor only. (not sure if this is the best way to deploy this)

Once I start the install, provide manager name, IP, etc and it tried to connect I get the following message. Any Ideas on a fix for this?

I verified that the file 2.3.21.tar.gz exists in the directory its looking for.

You have to enable password auth beforehand (for the soremote user) when running in AWS, as it expects by default to use key auth.

That worked! Thanks
