Auth fail with SSH Key and SSH Tunnel

See original GitHub issue

When trying to use an SSH Tunnel, I get the following error: Auth fail

DBeaver version: 21.3.0
MacOS 12.0.1
DBeaver SSHJ 1.0.91

My SSH key looks like this:

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

[...]

-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

I can ssh into the server using the same SSH Key.

Error log:

Recently two client machines (Ubuntu 22.04 and Mac OS) are able to SSH but unable to use dbeaver Jsch to connect to an Ubuntu 22.04 server.

The Ubuntu 22.04 client is able to use SSHJ in dbeaver and connect. The Mac OS client fails for both SSHJ and Jsch.

I found a bit more which seems to back up what @devvick reported:

It’s indeed quite likely that the server requires rsa-sha2. JSch does not support it. And as JSch seems not to be updated anymore, it quite likely never will.

There’s a fork of JSch that does though: https://github.com/mwiede/jsch https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73135640/jschexception-auth-fail-on-ubuntu-22-04

I would love to help resolve the issue, but am unsure what might constitute help here.

Colleague of mine had the same issue. Even with the same credentials and Pem keys, it failed with exhausted all authentication methods for client dbeaver Only difference was that I am on a intel Mac and he’s on a M1 Mac.

The issue was resolved when he downloaded the M1/Silicon version of Dbeaver and used JSch method. Screen Shot 2022-09-22 at 9 30 26 AM
