Centos – How to add new user accounts with SSH access to the Amazon EC2 Linux instance

amazon ec2centossshssh-keysunix

I'm trying to access new user which is created in AWS instance using SSH, but it throws an error when i execute the command ssh -i new_keypair.pem new_user@54.XXX.XXX.XXX

Error : Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)..

I followed each and every steps as mentioned in AWS document https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/new-user-accounts-linux-instance/

Please Let me know is there any additional configurations are required to access newly added user using SSH..

Add the newly created user in /etc/ssh/sshd_config as mentioned below. It's also working fine.
