473166 - SSH access for [e-mail] not working

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Honza Bambas (:mayhemer)]

In bug 464730 I was given a committer rights. In bug 470148 I asked for key update because of lost password. Now the key is not accepted by the server.

My ~/.ssh/config:
Host hg.mozilla.org
  User [e-mail]
  PubkeyAuthentication yes
  RSAAuthentication no
  IdentityFile ~/Documents/mozilla/Key/honzabambas.ppk

hg outgoing asks for passphrase for the correct key, I'm 100% sure the passphrase is correct, I can open the key with puttygen.

This is the private key, generated as SSH 2 RSA key by puttygen (XXXXX are replacements):

PuTTY-User-Key-File-2: ssh-rsa
Encryption: aes256-cbc

This is command and verbose output of ssh I try to connect manually, on MacOSX 10.4:

Connection with PuTTy works, I just get "No interactive shells allowed here!", seems like OpenSSH doesn't work with ppk generated by putty?

Correct, you need to convert PuTTY's PPK file to OpenSSH's format. PuTTYgen can do that for you.

Thanks! It helped. Closing as invalid.
