ssh: handshake failed

[dwarfi09]

sake ssh remote-server
works as expected

sake exec 'ls' -s remote-server
for the same server returns an error: "ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none], no supported methods remain"

A remote command with plain ssh works:
ssh user@remote-server "ls"

Any hint why the connection fails if I try to execute a cmd via sake?

One note, sake ssh uses the users underlying ssh whereas run/exec uses Go's ssh library.
Anyway, how do you connect to the server? See https://sakecli.com/inventory#provide-identity-and-password-credentials for more info on connection methods.

[dwarfi09]

OK, thank you. So I have to provide the path to the identity_file explicitly. This works, great!

[alajmo]

sake will try all identities in your ssh-agent (just like ssh does, unless you specify IdentitiesOnly) if you don't specify any identity key.

[dwarfi09]

Maybe sake could try the default .ssh/id_rsa if no ssh-agent is used (like ssh does)?

[alajmo]

Yeah, that's a good idea, I'll also try to support the Match * operator since it's quite common to specify some common options there.

[alajmo]

0.14.0 should now support default path ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa if no identity file is set.

[dwarfi09]

works very well, thank you.
