Dear Group: I previously posted this problem to the libcurl group and after considering it, think it might actually be a libssh2 problem.
The general problem is that if my private key is encrypted--with a passphrase, I can't complete authentication with the SSH server using libssh. The situation is similar to the normal Linux scenario where ssh-add is used to automatically supply the passphrase for non-interactive applications. Some details are as follows: I am using the libcurl curl_easy_set_opt() routine with CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD to pass the passphrase with no special syntax. I receive error code 67 and the diagnostic: "SSH public key authentication failed: Unable to initialize private key from file" Do you have any insight about this problem ?
