SSH Feature questions

floris_1P

I'm really sorry but this is not making any sense to me.

In your documentation, you state:

"On Mac and Linux, add the IdentityAgent to your config file or set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable."

and

"Add the IdentityAgent snippet to your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host *
IdentityAgent "~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock"

Or set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable in the shell where your SSH command runs:

export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/Library/Group\ Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock
"

You explicitly say the word "or" twice. This indicates that the user has to do one OR the other.

If you HAVE to do both then surely the documentation needs to be updated. I run ssh-add -l and it fails to show any keys.

If I am misunderstanding then that's fine, but please ensure your documentation is cleared up and everything clarified to ensure misunderstandings like this don't happen.

Please could you explain again here so I can try to understand.

Is there a way to target addtional/other vaults?

when I move the key back to the personal vault I get the valid output:
shell
Mon 28 8:26pm in ~ took 1m 51s
•100% ▶ SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/Library/Group\ Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock ssh-add -l
256 SHA256:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (ED25519)


it is in a private vault specifically for work

Is the SSH key you imported in a Private vault or a shared vault?

floris_1P I get:
shell
Mon 28 9:01am in ~
⇣94% ▶ SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/Library/Group\ Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities.


@kevinneufeld And what do you get when you run:

SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/Library/Group\ Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock ssh-add -l


I followed the instruction as well, but cannot get it to work. Imported my key, moved it out of .ssh and added export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/Library/Group\ Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock to my shell and I get the following error.

shell
Thu 24 10:39pm in ~
•100% ▶ ssh -T git@gitlab.com
git@gitlab.com: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).

ssh-add does not work with IdentityAgent, so you have to use the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable there.

We're working on a docs page that lists compatibility for SSH clients/tools with certain features, which should give more clarity on this subject.
