ssh -vvvv centos7.5-server output

Description of problem:

I'm using OpenSSH's certificate based authentication without any problem with openssh-7.7p1-2.fc28.x86_64. As soon as I upgrade it to any new package version, authentication starts to fail when connecting a CentOS 7.5 box but it succeed connecting CentOS 6.10.

CentOS 7.5 is using the following OpenSSH package:

- openssh-7.4p1-16.el7.x86_64

CentOS 6.10 is using the following OpenSSH package:

- openssh-5.3p1-123.el6_9.x86_64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

- Fedora 28 x86_64
- OpenSSH packages after openssh-7.7p1-2.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always reproducible.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using OpenSSH signed certificates, try to connect a remote host running CentOS/RHEL 7.5, configured to just accept certificates authentication, from a Fedora 28 client, using any OpenSSH package higher than openssh-7.7p1-2.fc28.x86_64.


Actual results:

Authentication fails with "Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)." message

Expected results:

Authentication succeeds.

Comment 2 Antonio Dias 2018-09-12 18:10:39 UTC
The workaround I'm using is 'sudo dnf downgrade -y openssh', which installs openssh-7.7p1-2.fc28.x86_64, version that is working fine.
