Forwarded gpg ssh agent doesn't see smartcard ssh key, only (none)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The setup is exactly the same as in [0], except for gpg-bridge, where normal gpg socket is used instead of the extra socket. Please see that link for the description of the setup and configs.

I am using gpg ssh agent and ssh key on Yubikey, and:

  • on both machines with Yubikey plugged in locally ssh authentication works correctly
  • both machines have the Yubikey auth key in $GNUPGHOME/sshcontrol (not necessary according to gpg documentation, but just to eliminate potential problems)
  • ssh-add -L prints the key on both machines:

when plugged into local it gives:

> ssh-add -L
ssh-rsa [...] cardno:<DISPSERIALNO>
ssh-rsa [...] (none)

when plugged into remote it gives:

❯ ssh-add -L
ssh-rsa [...] cardno:<DISPSERIALNO>
ssh-rsa [...] (none)

when plugged into local, in remote ssh it gives:

❯ ssh-add -L
ssh-rsa [...] (none)

Both cardno:<DISPSERIALNO> and (none) are the same identical keys. Roughly speaking, duplicated under different names(?).

Additional comment about "Session:" below. Seems like gpg agent doesn't see the card key and ssh suggests me to plug in the card, all it sees is the (none) key.

Any advice on this problem?

Below are the logs of gpg-agent without any additional commentary.
