How to use ssh agent forwarding with "vagrant ssh"?

Rather than create a new SSH key pair on a vagrant box, I would like to re-use the key pair I have on my host machine, using agent forwarding. I've tried setting config.ssh.forward_agent to TRUE in the Vagrantfile, then rebooted the VM, and tried using:

vagrant ssh -- -A

...but I'm still getting prompted for a password when I try to do a git checkout. Any idea what I'm missing?

Best way to use multiple SSH private keys on one client

I'm working on Ubuntu and want to use multiple private keys to connect to different servers or different portions of the same server (My uses are admin of server, admin of git, and normal git usage within the same server). I tried simply stacking the keys in the id_rsa files to no avail.

Apparently the way to do this is use the command ssh -i <key location> login@server.com. That is quite cumbersome.

Any suggestions as to how to go about doing this a bit easier?

SSH is looking in the wrong place for the public/private key pair on Windows

I'm trying to configure GIT on my Windows XP machine, but SSH keeps creating and looking for the public/private key pair in non-sensical places, e.g. /.ssh/id_rsa

Is there a configuration file in the GIT Installation for Windows where I can switch this to my home directory, or another user defined place? By default, it offers to create new key pairs at //.ssh/id_rsa but that gives me the error "Could not create directory '//.ssh'." And when I'm able to find a directory I can create it in, GIT won't look there.

How do I find my RSA key fingerprint?

I need to do the ssh key audit for GitHub, but I am not sure how do find my RSA key fingerprint. I originally followed a guide to do the set up on a ubuntu 10.04 box hosted by linode.

What is the command I need to enter to find my current RSA key fingerprint if I am logged remotely using Putty?

How to convert SSH keypairs generated using PuttyGen(Windows) into key-pairs used by ssh-agent and KeyChain(Linux)

I've generated key pairs using PuttyGen and been logging in using Pageant, so that I have to enter my pass-phrase only once, when my system boots.

How do I emulate this in Linux ? I've heard of keychain but I hear that it uses a different key pair format - I don't want to change my windows keys , and it would be nice if could seamlessly connect in the same manner in both Windows and Linux.

Can anyone help ?

How to remove a ssh key?

I've currently an old SSH key uploaded on the server. The problem is I lost my ~/.ssh directory (with the original id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files).

Consequently, I want to remove the old SSH key directly on the server and upload a new one.

I tried the following command without success:

$> ssh-add -D

Is there a way to completely remove a SSH key?

github deploy keys: how Do I authorize more than one repository for a single machine

So, I have a host, call it rob. I used ssh-keygen on rob to get a public key, which I gave to github in the add a new deploy key screen for repository cheech. Now I want to deploy chong on rob as well. But if I go to the add new deploy key screen for repository chong on github, and paste in the public key I generated on rob it says key already in use. I thought, if they key was in use, I could clone chong on rob but that says permission denied.

So clearly this is more complicated than I thought and it involves having multiple keys or something. What should I do to clone chong on rob?

Thank you for your help.

How to work with multiple ssh keys [duplicate]

GitHub Users,

I am newbie on github and have some issue with git setup. I have 2 account with different users on github and i have setup git on my system 2 times

First /.ssh folder (as usual) (contain id_rsa which copied in first account)
Second /.ssh/new folder (contain id_rsa which copied in second account)

now at the time of push how can i switch between ssh key?

Because if i would like to push for second account it will use .ssh key instead of .ssh/new and gives me error.

Please make me correct if i am understood something wrong here.

Thanks.

Can I test authentication with an RSA key locally?

Is there a way to check locally if you're providing the correct passphrase to an RSA key?

I recently had trouble pushing some commits to github because the push prompted for a password and then failed authentication. I verified that github had the correct public key for the id_rsa file in my ~/.ssh directory, and I verified that I could authenticate with Github (if you ssh git@github.com it will tell you you authenticated but that they don't offer shell access,) so I knew the problem was on my end, not Github's.

(I should point out that at this point I simply used git format-patch to get my commits as files, then blew away my working repository and re-cloned from Github, reapplied the patches using git am, and pushed without any trouble, so whatever the original problem was, it's fixed.)

This left me wondering, though: how would I know if an authentication problem with a remote host was me providing the wrong passphrase to my private key, or the remote host not recognizing my key? Is there a way to do a test authentication with the private key, locally, without trying to connect to a remote host?
