#38984 [NEW]: ssh-rsa unusable with ssh2_connect

From: dblais at interplex dot ca Operating system: FreeBSD 6.1 PHP version: 5.1.6 PHP Bug Type: OpenSSL related Bug description: ssh-rsa unusable with ssh2_connect Description: ------------ As soon as I'm using array('hostkey' => 'ssh-rsa') in the methods field of the ssh2_connect function, I get the following error message: Warning: ssh2_connect(): Error starting up SSH connection(-5): Unable to exchange encryption keys in [...] on line x. It is triggered by the ssh2_connect function so it doesn't even reach the ssh2_auth_pubkey_file function... I need it to connect with a rsa pair of key. Any idea? I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 with libssh2-0.14 and pecl-ssh2-0.10. Reproduce code: --------------- $connection = ssh2_connect('ip_address', 22, array('hostkey' => 'ssh-rsa')); Expected result: ---------------- it shouldn't complain about its inability to exchange encryption keys, we're not yet at this step. Actual result: -------------- Warning: ssh2_connect(): Error starting up SSH connection(-5): Unable to exchange encryption keys in [...] on line x. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38984&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38984&r=mysqlcfg
