Symptom


Config Bundle Export Schedule fails with "Failed exporting config bundle via SSH to ..."



Environment


NGFW
Any Firewall


Cause


"Password change required but no TTY available" is a general Linux message and it indicates passwords are expired and need a renewal. When a password is expired and must be changed on the next login, the system expects an interactive terminal session to ask for the new password. Without a TTY, it can't prompt for the new password, so it fails with this error.



Resolution


Reset password on both sides

ssh -t username@server (depending on the server type)
