I am trying to get Komodo to connect to a remote server. However, as I understand it, Komodo doesn't support public ssh keys. I edited the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and set both 

PasswordAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes

However, when I try to connect I keep getting the following message:

Error: 'Remote SSH server does not allow password authentication. Allowed types are: u'publickey''

How can I set the server up so that it accepts both types of authentication? Note: I am using Ubuntu.

Usualy the key and the password auth are enabled by default. Check this options are anabled (probably they have been disabled during key-auth configuration):

ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes # default
PasswordAuthentication yes # default
UsePAM yes # default

if this will not help, try to ssh with -v (-vv or -vvv) option.

And the dummy question: was the sshd restarted after changing configuration?

Your configuration looks ok. Once you have changed the sshd_config file, you need to restart sshd so that it can read the new config.
