I have been trying to get public key authentication to work with RSA encryption without success. DSA encryption does work. I am using the windows version 3.0.0 client. The remote version is SSH-2.0-2.4.0 SSH Secure Shell (non-commercial) The GUI client gives no information why the RSA public key authorization fails. Using the command line tool with the -v option I get debug: SshAppCommon/sshappcommon.c:154: Allocating global SshRegex context. debug: Connecting to REMOTEHOST, port 22... debug: Ssh2/ssh2.c:1956: Entering event loop. debug: Ssh2Client/sshclient.c:1329: Creating transport protocol. debug: SshAuthMethodClient/sshauthmethodc.c:137: Added "publickey" to usable met hods. debug: SshAuthMethodClient/sshauthmethodc.c:137: Added "password" to usable meth ods. debug: Ssh2Client/sshclient.c:1357: Creating userauth protocol. debug: client supports 2 auth methods: 'publickey,password' debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:496: local ip = XXX.XXX.XX.XX, local port = 1224 debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:498: remote ip = XXX.XXX.XX.XX, remote port = 22 debug: SshConnection/sshconn.c:1889: Wrapping... debug: Remote version: SSH-2.0-2.4.0 SSH Secure Shell (non-commercial) debug: Major: 2 Minor: 4 Revision: 0 debug: Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:1286: Remote version has kex packet guess determ ination bug. debug: Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:1290: Remote version has hostbased looping on fa ilure bug. debug: Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:1294: Remote version can only handle one key in "hostbased" auth. debug: Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:1366: Remote version uses md5 instead of sha-1 a s hash algorithm with RSA keys. debug: Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:1717: lang s to c: `', lang c to s: `' debug: Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:1783: c_to_s: cipher 3des-cbc, mac hmac-sha1, co mpression none debug: Ssh2Transport/trcommon.c:1786: s_to_c: cipher 3des-cbc, mac hmac-sha1, co mpression none debug: Remote host key found from database. debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:291: Received SSH_CROSS_STARTUP packet from connec tion protocol. debug: Ssh2Common/sshcommon.c:341: Received SSH_CROSS_ALGORITHMS packet from con nection protocol. debug: server offers auth methods 'publickey,password'. debug: Ssh2AuthPubKeyClient/authc-pubkey.c:1323: adding keyfile "C:/PROGRAM FILE S/SSH COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY/SSH SECURE SHELL/Users/me/Application Data/ SSH/userkeys/mersa" to candidates debug: Constructing and sending signature in publickey authentication. debug: Ssh2AuthPubKeyClient/authc-pubkey.c:688: ssh_client_auth_pubkey_send_sign ature: reading C:/PROGRAM FILES/SSH COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY/SSH SECURE SHELL/Use rs/me/Application Data/SSH/userkeys/mersa Passphrase for key "C:/PROGRAM FILES/SSH COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY/SSH SECURE SHEL L/Users/me/Application Data/SSH/userkeys/mersa" with comment "": debug: server offers auth methods 'publickey,password'. debug: Ssh2AuthPubKeyClient/authc-pubkey.c:1498: Server rejected the signature. debug: Ssh2AuthClient/sshauthc.c:316: Method 'publickey' disabled. debug: server offers auth methods 'publickey,password'. debug: Ssh2AuthPasswdClient/authc-passwd.c:95: Starting password query...
