Permission denied when ed25519 keys are used for Red Hat CoreOS nodes

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are using ed25519 keys during an OpenShift installation and generating keys using:

    $ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -f <path> 
    
  • The bootstrap.ign includes the public key but once the node finishes booting up, there is a permission denied message while accessing the node:

    ssh core@x.x.x.x
    core@x.x.x.x: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
    

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP)
    • 4.4+
