For closure, this problem has been solved. I had too many PIN failures, so the 
stick was rejecting further attempts. Resetting the pin counter using gnupg 
--card-edit, admin, passwd fixed the problem. Now I am able to use my Yubikey 
and gpg-agent for SSH login.

Yubikey Card Error "sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation"

2018-08-07 Thread Lawrence Larabee
I've got a new Yubikey NEO that I am trying to set up for SSH authentication. 
I've already personalized the card and loaded the keys, following all the 
creation rules (2048-bit max RSA, etc.) and loaded all the packages I am 
supposed to load. However I can't make it work. My platform is AMD64 GNU/Linux 
Ubuntu 16.04 running the Lubuntu flavor. I have tried it on two different 
machines with this same configuration.

I have verified that I am not running ssh-agent or gnome-keyring, as I have 
read these can interfere. 

"ssh-agent -L" shows my key 

I run 
export GPG_TTY="$(tty)" 
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/$USER/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh 
gpg - connect - agent updatestartuptty /bye 

I confirm that gpg-agent is running and that the auth sock environment variable 
is pointing to the correct place. 

gpg-agent.conf is: 

default-cache-ttl 36000 
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 
no-grab 
enable-ssh-support 

(tried disabling no-grab, no difference) 

scdaemon.conf: 

reader-port "Yubico Yubikey NEO OTP CCID 00 00" 
card-timeout 1 

(these don't make a difference, but some threads said to try it. it does same 
thing without the scdaemon options)

I turned on debugging, here is a dump of attempting to connect via SSH:

@'s password: 

As you can see, PIN entry works correctly, but after this everything fails with 
an error 100663404 and returns "signing failed: agent refused operation" 

I have Googled this extensively and have tried everything I can find to try to 
resolve this, but I've run out of things to try. 

Please help,
