SSH - No authenticate method (Auth-Type)

[Jaikanth Krishnaswamy]

What I am trying to setup is as follows
1. Oracle Backend for Authenticating SFTP Clients( openssh )

What I have done so far
Setup a  second ssh for the SFTP only
Updated the sshd_config for using PAM.
Request comes to AAA and fails as shown in the logs below.
Also note teh password shows as *"\010\n\r\177INCORRECT"*
The sites-enabled default looks like the following
"
authorize {
       sql
       expiration
       logintime
}
authenticate {

       # I have tried just pam as you have suggested and it still says
No-Auth
        Auth-Type PAM {
                pam
        }
}
preacct {
        preprocess
        acct_unique
        suffix
        files
}
accounting {
        detail
        unix
        radutmp
        exec
        attr_filter.accounting_response
}
session {
        radutmp
}
post-auth {
        sql
}
pre-proxy {
}
post-proxy {
}
"
As requested I am attaching the radiusd -X log
