Vagrant ssh authentication failure

For general information: by default to ssh-connect you may simply use

user: vagrant password: vagrant

https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/boxes/base.html#quot-vagrant-quot-user

First, try: to see what vagrant insecure_private_key is in your machine config

$ vagrant ssh-config

Example:

$ vagrant ssh-config
Host default
  HostName 127.0.0.1
  User vagrant
  Port 2222
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  PasswordAuthentication no
  IdentityFile C:/Users/konst/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
  IdentitiesOnly yes
  LogLevel FATAL

http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/cli/ssh_config.html

Second, do:
Change the contents of file insecure_private_key with the contents of your personal system private key

Or use:
Add it to the Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.ssh.private_key_path = "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
  config.ssh.forward_agent = true
end

1. config.ssh.private_key_path is your local private key
2. Your private key must be available to the local ssh-agent. You can check with ssh-add -L. If it’s not listed, add it with ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
3. Don’t forget to add your public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the Vagrant VM. You can do it by copy-and-pasting or using a tool like ssh-copy-id (user: root password: vagrant port: 2222) ssh-copy-id '-p 2222 [email protected]'

If still does not work try this:

1. Remove insecure_private_key file from c:\Users\USERNAME\.vagrant.d\insecure_private_key

2. Run vagrant up (vagrant will be generate a new insecure_private_key file)

In other cases, it is helpful to just set forward_agent in Vagrantfile:

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
   config.ssh.forward_agent = true
end

Useful:

Configurating git may be with git-scm.com

After setup this program and creating personal system private key will be in yours profile path: c:\users\USERNAME\.ssh\id_rsa.pub

PS: Finally – suggest you look at Ubuntu on Windows 10
