Getting SSH key support to work (macOS, version 8.6.0 beta)
I was interested to read the Blog post about the new SSH agent/key support, but, for the life of me, am apparently missing something obvious in getting it to actually work.
I have read through the documentation, and have extensive familiarity with setting up SSH keys, using agents, and so on, but, no joy.
The documentation specifically mentions setting up your new SSH keys in "your Private vault"; I'm not sure if the use of the word Private is crucial here, but, assuming a level of pedantry, I created a new Vault called "Private". I then created a new key.
I've enabled the SSH agent in the Developer preferences of 1P8, and modified my .ssh/config file for a specific host to use the socket for the IdentityAgent. I've tried both the full "Group Containers" path, as per the snippet in the Preferences, as well as the symlinked socket in .1password.
I have rebooted multiple times, and ensured 1P7 was removed from this machine (M1 MBP, new). 1P8 starts at login, and I open/start it before testing SSH.
I've also tried exporting the SSH_AUTH_SOCK explicitly, and checking with ssh-add -l.
No matter what I do, no identities are available in the agent.
And, predictably, whenever I try to log in to the defined host, it fails, and falls back to Password.
I also tried defining the global "Host *" option with the socket's location, still didn't work.
Even tried specifying IdentitiesOnly for the host I'm testing with...nope.
Must be missing something so obvious that I just can't see it...any hints appreciated.
