Provider doesn't seem to care if a privatekey has been defined

[Spezi2u]

Need to define a privatekey due to full automation. Provider doesn't seem to care if a privatekey is given. Only if that said privatekey is loaded into the agent will the provider execute.

Is this a bug or did I do something wrong or misunderstood the underlying principle.

Just to make sure I set agent to false when defining the privatekey no reaction.

Pls. advise

I am struggling with the same problem. from the logs:

Failed to copy content to remote file narval.computecanada.ca:22:/home/amcarth1/alloc.sh: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none], no supported methods remain

Even though

resource "ssh_resource" "init" {
  host         = "narval.computecanada.ca"
  user         = "user"
  private_key  = var.encoded_ssh_private_key

  when         = "create" # Default

Hi, So you have the actual private keyfile behind your variable for the key, or the actual key? You need the key itself in the variable. Your variable Name seems to indicate that you encrypt your ssh key. How does your Host decrypt the ssh Key? Hope this helps to find the Error. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Michael Späth

I have my actual key, sorry, bad variable name. So yeah I think it is in a state it should work.

[Sharpz7]

Is there a way to get more debugging information?

[Spezi2u]

Hi, try in provider debug_log = <Filename> Should work. Kind Reagds

[DaBeOps]

Hi,
I got the same issue.
Here is the content of the debug information:

command: uptime                                                                                                           
done: false                                                                                                               
stdout:                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                          
stderr:                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                          
error: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none publickey], no supported methods remain

Any idea?

Had the Same problem, you need to put the actual key into the variable not the key File. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Michael Späth
