Not working with ssh agent unix socket

See original GitHub issue

This is on my mac and I have this as my config file

{
    "protocol": "sftp",
    "host": "full_qualified_hostname",
    "port": 22,
    "user": "vsacheti",
    "pass": "",
    "promptForPass": false,
    "remote": "/home/vsacheti/",
    "agent": "env",
    "privatekey": "",
    "passphrase": "",
    "hosthash": "",
    "ignorehost": true,
    "connTimeout": 10000,
    "keepalive": 10000,
    "keyboardInteractive": true,
    "watch": []
}

Here is some relevant info

echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.00vXgbWoQe/Listeners
C02PH7MSG3QD-lm:~ vsacheti$ ls -l /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.00vXgbWoQe/Listeners
srw-rw-rw-  1 vsacheti  wheel  0 Jan 26 11:07 /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.00vXgbWoQe/Listeners

Error Message: All configured authentication methods failed

Any ideas to make this work?

If I apply these patches to ssh2 and ssh2-streams it works.

https://github.com/jacobtolar/ssh2/compare/v0.5.4...remote-ftp-fix

https://github.com/jacobtolar/ssh2-streams/compare/v0.1.16...remote-ftp-fix

Not saying those are the right patches to make but maybe gives a clue to the problem.

My ssh server apparently gets grumpy if I send it ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com instead of ssh-rsa in the signature header. But my agent seems to be returning keys with that name.

Can’t quite grok http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/PROTOCOL.certkeys?annotate=HEAD but I think it’s saying the names should be either “ssh-rsa” or “ssh-dss” or one of the ecdsa options.

ssh2-streams diff between the last working version and the current dependency: https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2-streams/compare/v0.0.23...v0.1.16

Same for ssh2: https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2/compare/v0.4.14...v0.5.4

The previous version of ssh2-streams explicitly strips the length of the cert algorithm down to 7 characters (so that answers one problem). And the previous version of ssh2 didn’t check for a whitelist of algorithms like the current one does in onUSERAUTH_PK_OK.
