["Victor Sundin (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-745?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17191235#comment-17191235 ] 

Victor Sundin commented on GUACAMOLE-745:
-----------------------------------------

I got so fed up with this, but finally got it working without the use of the ssh-keygen utility....
The commands below will get you the correct headers


{code:java}
KEYFILE=~/.ssh/<keyname>{code}
{code:java}
openssl genrsa -out ${KEYFILE} 2048{code}
{code:java}
ssh-keygen  -y -f ${KEYFILE} > ${KEYFILE}.pub
{code}

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-745
>             Project: Guacamole
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: guacd, SSH
>         Environment: Docker official images 1.0.0
>            Reporter: Julien Nicoulaud
>            Priority: Minor

> Since OpenSSH 7.8, {{ssh-keygen}} does not generate keys in PEM format by default anymore: [https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.8]
> Attempting to use keys in the new format in Guacamole does not work, and does not print any helpful error message even in debug mode:
> {code:java}
> guacd_1      | guacd[296]: DEBUG:        Attempting private key import (WITHOUT passphrase)
> guacd_1      | guacd[296]: DEBUG:        Initial import failed: (null)
> guacd_1      | guacd[296]: DEBUG:        Re-attempting private key import (WITH passphrase)
> guacd_1      | guacd[296]: ERROR:        Auth key import failed: (null){code}
> It would be nice if keys in OpenSSH new format were supported. At least a more helpful error message should be printed (like "unrecognized key format").
