OpenSSH public key not working

[petergillardmoss]

This works on my dev box but not on our server.

java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

Here's the output:

You need the BouncyCastle jar in classpath.

[petergillardmoss]

I think you may have closed this issue prematurely, could you please re-open?

I do have BouncyCastle jar in classpath.

I am using bcprov-jdk16-146.jar. Perhaps I have the wrong jar? However this is the one checked in and working with success on my dev box just not the build server. I tried extracting ALL bouncycastle providers but this didn't help either.

I have output more debug info to prove loading of bouncycastle:

[petergillardmoss]

I switched to Ganymed SSH-2 for Java and that worked without any problems so I suggest there is a bug either in bouncycastle or in sshj

[shikhar]

Actually I don't think Ganymed depends on BouncyCastle so that's a moot point

[petergillardmoss]

Yes I understand that. But Ganymed proves that there is nothing wrong with my ssh key and therefore your sshj+BouncyCastle should work but it doesn't.

[hierynomus]

It works in Overthere with SSHJ 0.6.0. What is the private key format you're using. In our unit tests we use a key like:
-----BEGIN PRIVATE RSA KEY----- mumbojumbo -----END PRIVATE RSA KEY-----

See: https://github.com/xebialabs/overthere/blob/master/overthere/src/test/java/com/xebialabs/overthere/OverthereOnUnixItest.java

[hierynomus]

Hey Peter,

I think this looks like about the same issue as you are having. I'm looking into that.
https://gist.github.com/1321719#comments

[shikhar]

Hmm, I still think this is related to bouncy castle detection... the exception message is 'No provider available for OpenSSH key file'

So KeyProviderUtil.detectKeyFileFormat() detected an OpenSSH-format[1] key file, but there is no FileKeyProvider for that kind of key registered with the 'Config' object. With the DefaultConfig implementation this only happens if SecurityUtils.isBouncyCastleRegistered() == false.

For Krishnan, the error is: 'No provider available for Unknown key file', so the key file format cannot be detected by the detectKeyFileFormat() method.

[1] OpenSSH format = PKCS8 encoded private key file, with an unencrypted publickey inside a '.pub' file by the same name.
