Al,

I'd suggest logging in to the VM as root from the management node and checking 
log files for why it says the user is being denied access.  In additional to 
checking log files, another thing you can do that can help with debugging is 
to stop the external sshd process and then run it in debugging mode.  You can 
stop the existing process with

initctl stop ext_ssh

Then, run it again with

/usr/sbin/sshd -d -f /etc/ssh/external_sshd_config

This runs sshd in the foreground with debug output enabled.  Also, you can 
specify multiple "d" options to increase the verbosity of the debug output 
(i.e. -dd or -ddd).

After doing the above, you can then try to log in again from another console 
to get a better idea of why it is failing.
