Can't keep private key unlocked #206

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I had to reinstall connectbot after a transition to Android 1.6.  I'm now 
finding it impossible to keep the private key I use for logins unlocked.  
I import the key from SD card as always, click to unlock to green from 
red, select "load key at start", and select that key for my connection.  
This work fine.  Until I boot.  After a boot (or if the connectbot service 
is killed for any other reason), the private key goes back to locked red 
and I have to go through the whole procedure again.  By the way, key is 
showing with an unknown bit size -- I don't recall if this was also the 
case under Android 1.5.

Any ideas appreciated.  Thanks.

I assume the key is not password protected?

Correct.

I'm also seeing "unknown bit size", for a 2048-bit RSA key, but I can't even 
unlock
it. About to log an issue on that...

This log seems related. This is on a Droid running 2.0.1. It also happened to 
me on
2.0. My key goes to red even after a short period of idle time and I always 
have to
unlock to connect.

I also had this problem, but I found that if you select your session by a long 
press, then select "Edit Host", you can specify your preferred key under "Use 
pubkey authentication". This will allow you to connect to your server with the 
specified key even if its locked (red) in Manage Pubkeys. This is only a 
workaround however, and this bug should still be fixed in a future release.

The workaround in comment #5 doesn't seem to work for me. I don't get prompted 
to unlock the key, and of course it can't be used if it's not been unlocked.

My key is password protected, if that makes a difference

This problem is still happening for me with the current version of ConnectBot.

In response to comment number #11, I do not see any problem. My key has a pass 
phrase and hence I have to unlock it before use.  I've configured my hosts as 
per comment #5 and if I haven't unlocked the keys prior to connecting to a 
host, I'm prompted for my pass phrase.

My only issue is that when I first used ConnectBot (quit a long while ago) and 
I unlocked the keys, they stayed unlocked until the phone was rebooted. 
Currently, the keys go back to being locked a short while after ConnectBot is 
closed with no active sessions. I guess this makes it more secure but bloody 
annoying!
