    We're using AIX 7.1. While connecting to the aix server, using JAVA JSCH or plink, we're able to connect with normal user. but while switching to SU, we're getting the error. "cannot su to root authentication is denied", whereas if we login with normal user and switch to SU with Mremoteng or PuTTY, it works. Why we're unable to switch to SU using JSCH or plink? Please help us to identify the issue.
