openssh 8.8 not working anymore

[wastez]

Hello,

On new opnsense it is not possible to sync anymore because in the last versions openssh 8.8 ist used and they removed ssh-rsa in PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms.

Is there a way to make it working again?
userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-rsa not in PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms [preauth]

[wastez]

Would it be possible to implement the new libssh2

Would it be possible to implement it?

[thomas-pike]

Is there a PHP library for it?

[wastez]

As far as i know the latest libssh2 can do this.

I have the same issue when I try to sync keys with AlmaLinux 9.1

I tried with adding

PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa

but it fails again

When I try to execute on command line from SKA server:

ssh [email protected] -i /path/private/key/keys-sync

it connects successfully

Any ideas?

[wastez]

To execute ssh is not the same because a php Library called libssh2 is used.
As far as i now libssh2 already could to this but it need to be implemented.

In the meantime you can activate ssh-rsa on the client side.

You have to set these two settings on the client side:

PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

Hello.

I complied the last version of libssh2 and edited your code to work with devices which aren't ssh-rsa.
If you like to have the changes just inform me.

Thanks & Greets

[antonzhelyazkov]

Sure :)
It will be great if SKA works with such a devices.

ED22519 is the way to go for the time being.

[antonzhelyazkov]

libssh2

it works thank you

[wastez]

Yes but to work with old devices too the code should be edited.
Sorry was really busy this week....
