We have been working with your office to get a newer version of Dejawin to test SSH connections and had no success getting past SSH password changes. It appears Dejawin cannot handle the change challenge coming from Linux or HP-UX (OpenSSH). There is documentation suggesting this was fixed in a recent version, but no version we have been able to test with (including 4.4) will get beyond this issue.
It appears it recognizes the password should be changed, but rather than presenting any dialogue to change it, it presents an Access Denied box followed by an SSH Connection Failed box and terminates the window. On the server, the ssh daemon only sees Dejawin terminating the socket.
From trace logs from a different emulator, I can see the last message sent from the server is as follows:
Incoming packet #0x7, type 60 / 0x3c (SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_INFO_REQUEST)
