Paramiko Protocol error: expected packet SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST, got SSH_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST

When I use ssh command to manually connect to the host, everything works fine:

$ ssh -v admin@mycli.abc.com -p 10000

But with paramiko it always fails:

The paramiko script:

#!/usr/bin/env python2

import paramiko

paramiko.common.logging.basicConfig(level=paramiko.common.DEBUG)

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.MissingHostKeyPolicy())
ssh.connect(hostname='mycli.abc.com', port=10000, username='admin', password='abc123')
i, o, e = ssh.exec_command('uname -a')
print o.readlines()
ssh.close()

Paramiko version: 1.9.0

Why does it throw "Protocol error: expected packet SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST, got SSH_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST" error? How to avoid it?

TL;DR: Add this: allow_agent=False and/or look_for_keys=False to your connect() call.

Doing some research on this, I have come to the conclusion that public key auth by a Paramiko SSH client doesn't always work with all SSH servers. I was trying to connect to a Cisco ASA device. The relevant part of the error log was:

DEBUG:paramiko.transport:Switch to new keys ...
DEBUG:paramiko.transport:Trying SSH agent key 5d081d52f889f2c224606d6b2065606e
DEBUG:paramiko.transport:userauth is OK
DEBUG:paramiko.transport:Authentication type (publickey) not permitted.
DEBUG:paramiko.transport:Allowed methods: ['password']
INFO:paramiko.transport:Disconnect (code 2): Protocol error: expected packet type 50, got 5

Notice the 'Trying SSH agent key...' part? I didn't want that, I wanted to force password auth. Where the OpenSSH interactive client either falls back gracefully from publickey to password, paramiko doesn't, forcing it to use user/pass authentication fixed the issue for me, it might work for you.

I don't know if this is a paramiko bug or a bug on the SSH server. Paramiko does fall back from publickey to password or keyboard-interactive when talking to an OpenSSH server.
