SSH connection problem with a private key - Guacamole
Dear Sir or Madam
I'm an apprentice administrator. I wanted to use your "Apache Guacamole" solution to solve a problem in my company. However, I encountered a problem with private key authentication for SSH. Every time I try to connect with a private key, I get the following message : Connection failed, please try again. I looked at the logs and made sure the configuration files were set up correctly, but there was no difference. The public key is on the remote host and the SSH linux shell connection works. I don't know what the problem is. Could you tell me the exact process for private key authentication? Do you have a solution ? Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Matthieu Lopoukhine

Hello Nick and thank you for your reply. When I look at my syslog logs here are the last logs after a connection attempt :
2023-10-30 15:18:25,654 DEBUG [http-nio-8080-exec-6] o.a.i.d.p.PooledDataSource [PooledDataSource.java:575] Testing connection 377198133 ...
2023-10-30 15:18:25,654 DEBUG [http-nio-8080-exec-6] o.a.i.d.p.PooledDataSource [PooledDataSource.java:586] Connection 377198133 is GOOD!
2023-10-30 15:18:25,654 DEBUG [http-nio-8080-exec-6] o.a.i.d.p.PooledDataSource [PooledDataSource.java:409] Returned connection 377198133 to pool.
No error is indicated, the connection is established then immediately disconnected.
The private key is an RSA key generated with OpenSSH in PEM format.

You'll need to look at the logs for guacd and see what error is being provided for why the private key authentication is failing. guacd generally logs to your local syslog facility - /var/log/messages, journald, etc.
Also, you'll need to make sure that your private key is in a format that is supported by libssh2.
