---------------------------------

             Summary: Got "key type does not match" when use OpenSSH client And 
Mina SSHD configured with a host public key cert
                 Key: SSHD-1053
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-1053
             Project: MINA SSHD
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.5.1
            Reporter: Feng Jiajie


Hi,

We configured a Mina SSHD and used server certificates:
https://www.lorier.net/docs/ssh-ca.html

Mina SSHD:
{code:java}
sshd.setKeyPairProvider(new 
BouncyCastleGeneratorHostKeyProvider(Paths.get("/tmp/ser-tunnel")));
sshd.setHostKeyCertificateProvider(new 
FileHostKeyCertificateProvider(Paths.get("/tmp/ser-tunnel-cert.pub")));
{code}
When using the OpenSSH client (test on v7.9 and v8.3) to connect to the Mina 
SSHD server, the client is reporting an error: 
{code:java}

{code}
After debugging the OpenSSH client, we found that the problem was that:

[https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/V_7_9_P1/ssh-rsa.c#L270]
line 270: 
{code:java}
if ((hash_alg = rsa_hash_id_from_ident(sigtype)) == -1) {
  ret = SSH_ERR_KEY_TYPE_MISMATCH;
  goto out;
}
{code}
`sigtype` value is "[email protected]"

[https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/V_7_9_P1/ssh-rsa.c#L61]
line 61: 
{code:java}
static intrsa_hash_id_from_ident(const char *ident){
  if (strcmp(ident, "ssh-rsa") == 0)
    return SSH_DIGEST_SHA1;     
  if (strcmp(ident, "rsa-sha2-256") == 0)       
    return SSH_DIGEST_SHA256;
  if (strcmp(ident, "rsa-sha2-512") == 0)
    return SSH_DIGEST_SHA512;
  return -1;
}
{code}
can't find "[email protected]" then return -1

We found OpenSSH Server signature function may return only the return value of 
the `rsa_hash_alg_ident` function:
{code:java}
static const char *rsa_hash_alg_ident(int hash_alg){
  switch (hash_alg) {
    case SSH_DIGEST_SHA1:
      return "ssh-rsa";
    case SSH_DIGEST_SHA256:
      return "rsa-sha2-256";
    case SSH_DIGEST_SHA512:
      return "rsa-sha2-512";
  }
  return NULL;
}
{code}
[https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/V_7_9_P1/ssh-rsa.c#L223]

So I made a simple patch to handle this situation.
