Using git with ssh-agent on Windows
(6 answers)
Closed 8 months ago.
I'm using git in PowerShell on Windows. I made sure ssh-agent is running, and ssh-add has my private key.
$ Get-Service ssh-agent
Status Name DisplayName
------ ---- -----------
Running ssh-agent OpenSSH Authentication Agent
$ ssh-add -l
256 SHA256:2MDH36ZZcM1uf9wQ2tsMj4NROkiGeKUD+CwBsVXrKXY xxxxxxxxxx#gmail.com (ED25519)
But git still asks for passphrase every time. I tried to debug by setting GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -vvv", but couldn't understand what's wrong. Below is the verbose output when I run git push.
$ git push

Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/username/.ssh/id_ed25519':
As mentioned here by Ajedi32, if you are using Windows' native implementation of OpenSSH with the native ssh-agent Windows service, make sure that Git for Windows was configured to use that SSH implementation when you installed it
You can force using another ssh.exe with the GIT_SSH environment variable.
Try also to start the agent as a service.
Try to run these two lines one after another in this order in git bash, Windows WLS or bash on real GNU/Linux.
eval ssh-agent -s
ssh-add ~/.ssh/*_rsa
it will ask for passphrase in the second command, and that's it. Each additional action you will need to do (which normally requires passphrase) won't ask you for the passphrase.

I have tried the solutions suggested in other posts (e.g changing permissions of the id_rsa file, enabling remote login for all users, etc.)
Looking inside the system.log, I see the following line corresponding to my ssh attempt:

Which is not particularly informative...
I have created ssh keys in my local machine (Mac)
I've copied the public key to gitLab and I can ssh to gitLab successfully from my local machine
I'm also using a server. I can ssh from my local machine to the server. I login as root
I wanted to have also an ssh connection between server and gitLab but I cannot connect
In the server if I execute

What am I doing wrong?
You would need to have the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file in root's account on the server if you wanted to connect from root to gitlab.
I would, however, suggest a different approach.
Connect to the server as yourself using agent forwarding. ssh -A users#server
Connect from there to gitlab using the forwarded credentials.
I had a key-pair for one server which has been working for a few years. I created a new server today and asked it to use the same key-pair information. I verified in the console that both are using the same key-pair information.
I can ssh into my new server using the pem file. So I know that the pem file is not corrupted. But, I cannot ssh into my old server anymore.
The error is: Permission denied (publickey).
I still happen to have read access to my old server (I have a tab open which is ssh'ed in), but don't seem to have write access.
What could cause this problem and how could I resolve it?
FYI, .ssh/authorized_keys still seems to contain a public key associated with this pem file. This public key is identical on both servers.
Update:
I'm 99% sure the user is correct. I'm using ubuntu. This is the user that I see in the ssh window I have open from before. Also, when I try to login as root, I get the error: Please login as the user "ubuntu" rather than the user "root".
Update #2:
Here's the output of ssh with -vvv

I guess you accidentally changed the permission of the file /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys. I have reproduced the error. According to AWS, /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys must be limited to the owner only.
If you have logged out, Then you have two ways to solve this.
Method 1: Stop your instance, click Actions->Instance Settings->View/Change User Data to add the following User Data and then start the instance
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="//"
MIME-Version: 1.0
--//
Content-Type: text/cloud-config; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="cloud-config.txt"
#cloud-config
cloud_final_modules:

--//
Content-Type: text/x-shellscript; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="userdata.txt"
#!/bin/bash
chmod 600 /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 700 /home/ubuntu/.ssh
chmod 700 /home/ubuntu
--//
Method 2: you can launch a debug instance. Then stop your old server and mount the root volume of your old server to the debug instance, and run the following commands to set the correct permission:
[ubuntu ~]chmod 600 mount_point/home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys
[ubuntu ~]chmod 700 mount_point/home/ubuntu/.ssh
[ubuntu ~]chmod 700 mount_point/home/ubuntu
It it doesn't work, you could following the steps to troubleshoot your instance: Error: Host key not found, Permission denied (publickey), or Authentication failed, permission denied

debug1: Skipping ssh-dss key /Users/chen/.ssh/id_dsa - not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes
This line says that the client has only DSA host key. This is considered weak these days with fixed length of 1024 bits. You should update the server and set up different keys (RSA).
As a workaround, you can use PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-dss in ~/.ssh/config, which will allow you to connect using this ke, exactly as described in the official documentation for legacy algorithms in OpenSSH.
Since you didn't mention the steps you followed for password-less authentication i am not so sure about the problem.
Anyways give a try with the following
ssh-keygen -t rsa
hit enter to all the prompt questions.
cd ~/.ssh
cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
I'm trying to ssh from a server into a Mac (mac1) and then from that mac into another (Mac2) using agent forwarding. Both are accessible through the server but don't have the keys to access each other.
I have this config file in the server's ~/.ssh/config:
Host *
ForwardAgent yes
And then this file in mac1's /etc/sshd_config:
AllowAgentForwarding yes
Then I log into mac1 with agent-forwarding option:
[brandon's_server]$ ssh -Av root#mac1

I seem to have a socket:
mac1>echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
/tmp/ssh-0cpmpDpPo9/agent.1941
Then I run ssh-add with no arguments.
The ssh agent gives me this on mac1:
mac1:~ root# ssh-agent
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/T//ssh-QOl0KPFzqDTK/agent.4209; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=4211; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 4211;
However when I run the second ssh from mac1 to mac2 I get:
<mac1>:~ root# ssh -vvv root#mac2
