Paramiko: “not a valid RSA private key file”

Question

I am trying connect to server using following spinet

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())

ip = [\'x.x.x.x\']         


        

Answer 1

I faced a similar situation and ssh-keygen comes to my help. You should make a copy of id_rsa and convert it to RSA type with ssh-keygen.

To Convert "BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY" to "BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY"

ssh-keygen -p -m PEM -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
