If you have encountered errors while using SSH, such as the ones below:
Example 1:
foo@12.34.56.789: Permission denied (publickey).
Example 2:
sign_and_send_pubkey: no mutual signature supported
foo@12.34.56.789: Permission denied (publickey).
It's possible that you may be using an older version of OpenSSH on your server that is vulnerable to the SHA-1 algorithm, which was disabled in OpenSSH version 8.8 (2021-09-26). If you're certain that you've correctly added the public key to your server, this could be the cause of the error messages.
To determine your local OpenSSH version, enter the following command:
ssh -vv local
The result should look like this:
To resolve the issue, add PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
to your Host entry in the ~/.ssh/config file. It should look like this:
Host fooServer
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
Hostname 12.34.56.789
User forge
IdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_rsa
After making these changes, try again and the issue should be resolved.
