List of supported SSH Keys & Algorithms

What are the supported PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes, KEX, and HostKeyAlgorithms in the ezsh shell?


Overview: This article outlines the supported PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes, KEX(Key Exchange Algorithms), and HostKeyAlgorithms in the ezsh shell (Ezeelogin backend shell) and their compatibility details.

Refer to the article below for guidance on finding and modifying the KEX and HostKeyAlgorithms used by the SSHD server:


Supported PubkeyAcceptedKeyType in Ezeelogin

PubkeyAcceptedKeyType supported from Ezeelogin version 7.30.0

Key Compatibility Notes:

1. The ed25519 key generated with the passphrase on Centos 7 is not supported.

2. The PHP version should be 7.3 and above in Almalinux 8, RHEL8, CentOS8, and RockyLinux to save the key in the Ezeelogin GUI.

3. Refer below articles to resolve the DSA key-based authentications.

Supported Pubkey Types:

  1. rsa
  2. dsa
  3. ed25519
  4. ecdsa
  5. OpenSSH
