sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation

[torarnv]

After following the configuration instructions, and adding a key to the agent with -c, connecting to a server gives sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation.

Running launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/com.openssh.ssh-agent doesn't show any of the environment variables (DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS). Is stopping the agent using launchctlenough? Will it pick up those environment variables that were just set?

Hello,

which operating system version and which shell do you use? Please send the content of .bash_profile and .zprofile (if you use zsh) then I can take a closer look at it.

It should look like this:

cat ~/.bash_profile

ssh_askpass_mac=/Applications/ssh-askpass.app/Contents/MacOS/ssh-askpass export SSH_ASKPASS=$ssh_askpass_mac if [ -z ${DISPLAY+x} ] then export DISPLAY= launchctl setenv DISPLAY "" fi ssh_askpass_env=$(launchctl getenv SSH_ASKPASS) if [ "$ssh_askpass_env" != "$ssh_askpass_mac" ] then launchctl setenv SSH_ASKPASS "$ssh_askpass_mac" && launchctl stop com.openssh.ssh-agent fi ssh-add() { command ssh-add $@ < /dev/null }

If you use zsh the ~/.bash_profile must be imported from zsh:

cat ~/.zprofile

[[ -e ~/.bash_profile ]] && emulate sh -c 'source ~/.bash_profile'

launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/com.openssh.ssh-agent

inherited environment = { SSH_ASKPASS => /Applications/ssh-askpass.app/Contents/MacOS/ssh-askpass DISPLAY => SSH_AUTH_SOCK => /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.XXXXXXXX/Listeners }
