I am unable to connect to the DevCloud through ssh in Ubuntu 18.04.

The error message says it is due to a invalid format error of the key. I have followed the steps in the instructions with no luck. I had to change the name of the key in the "config" file and the commands due to the key that I downloaded from the site didn't have the same name. The key had a format "devcloud-access-key-XXXXX" where XXXXX are 5 digits, in the instructions it is "devcloud-access-key-uXXXXX". I don't think that has anything to do but I am just saying it so it can be fix.

Below the error:

 

Load key "/home/dani/Descargas/devcloud-access-key-XXXXX": invalid format

XXXX@XXXXX.intel.com: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Hi,

 

Please confirm that you had given the same key name for 'IdentityFile' and 'ProxyCommand' field in config file. It would be great if you could provide a screen shot of the config file you are using. 

Please ensure that you had provided the permission for key and config file using the below commands.

 

chmod 600 ~/[path_to_your_key]/devcloud-access-key-xxxxx

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config

Hi,

 

I do have the same issue (this time with Ubuntu 20.10). I just ran the config script, and in my ~/.ssh I have a modified config file with the following:

################################################################################################
# oneAPI DevCloud SSH config
################################################################################################
Host devcloud
User <userID>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/devcloud-access-key-<userID>.txt
ProxyCommand ssh -T -i ~/.ssh/devcloud-access-key-<userID>.txt guest@ssh.devcloud.intel.com


… with the <userID> replaced with the right ID of course.  Here is the output of the ssh command:

 

ssh devcloud
load pubkey "/home/<myusername>/.ssh/devcloud-access-key-<UserID>.txt": invalid format
load pubkey "/home/<myusername>/.ssh/devcloud-access-key-<UserID>.txt": invalid format
guest@ssh.devcloud.intel.com: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Connection closed by UNKNOWN port 65535

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
