Hello Arunaav, I'm curious if you could double-check the testing
environment to make sure the user accounts are as you expected?

chmod 0600 /home/core/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa onprem_shell@10.14.169.25
ssh -v user@10.14.169.25
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa type -1


There's usernames 'core', 'onprem_shell', 'user', and 'root' in play here, and 
I think it'd be extraordinarily easy to perhaps use sudo or another privilege 
changing tool in such a way that it is using the wrong private key or the wrong 
authorized_keys file, etc.

Thanks

Title:
  SSH-RSA not supported for Self-SSH in Ubuntu 22.04 FIPS

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a FIPS Enabled Ubuntu 22.04 kernel, we are seeing an issue with self-ssh.
  We created a key with the following steps:
  touch /home/core/.ssh/known_hosts
    ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -f /home/core/.ssh/id_rsa -N '' > /dev/null
    cp /home/core/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /home/core/.ssh/authorized_keys
    chmod 0600 /home/core/.ssh/id_rsa
    chmod 0600 /home/core/.ssh/authorized_keys

  When we try to do a self ssh with the key, the following happens:
  ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa onprem_shell@10.14.169.25
  Connection closed by 10.14.169.25 port 22

  FIPS status:
  cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled
  1

  PFB, the ssh dump:

  Please note that SSH onto other hosts (both FIPS and non-FIPS) works.
  The only workaround that we have found has been removing the ssh-rsa
  entry from “HostKeyAlgorithms” in “etc/ssh/sshd_config” and restarting
  the SSH service. This issue has neither been encountered in the Ubuntu
  18.04 FIPS nor Ubuntu 20.04 FIPS.
