Description of problem: The PKCS #11 support in ssh-agent currently supports only RSA keys. There is however a patch for ECDSA support in the upstream issue tracker. Would it be possible to use this patch in Fedora before this gets included upstream? https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2474 I'm using the patch for about six months now and I haven't encountered any problems with it: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jvcelak/openssh/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-7.2p2-9.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This is on my list for the future months to make this working seamlessly. If I remember well, there were some problems with handling the ECDSA keys in OpenSSL (and some backward incompatibility among latest versions). Also there was a lot of messages C_GetAttributeValue failed: message from the referenced patch, if I remember well when I played with that. Problem is that it needs quite a lot of refactoring, because current pkcs#11 implementation in openssh is a bit unfortunate. Carrying this incomplete feature downstream is not a good idea. But thank you for the bugzilla to keep a track of this.
openssh-7.2p2-11.fc24 selinux-policy-3.13.1-191.8.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-99191c4aab
Reverting to NEW state. BZ was switched to MODIFIED due to wrong bodhi update.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Not yet done. I am keeping an eye on it.
I created a copr repository with this patch and I would be glad for feedback on this functionality. The original patch does not build with current OpenSSL so it needed some care, but I plan to give it also some more testing in coming weeks. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jjelen/openssh-pkcs11/monitor/
