By default, the following parameter is active in DirectAdmin:
disable_ip_check=0
Its role is to "force" DirectAdmin to verify at each user action that it connects from the IP from which it was initially authenticated. In some situations it is possible to cause connection difficulties (eg users whose ISP frequently changes their IP). Although not recommended in terms of server security, this verification can be disabled by following the steps below in the SSH console (as admin):
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin set disable_ip_check 1 restart
Now you should be able to log in without this verification being required.
