[Bug 1458084] [NEW] puppet outdated: can't install ed25519 ssh-key

[Hadmut Danisch]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

when using a ssh_authorized_key resource to install public keys in the
authorized_keys files, it works with rsa, but not with ed25519 keys:

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter type failed on Ssh_authorized_key[root-hadmut-ed25519 at home]: Invalid value "ssh-ed25519". Valid values are ssh-dss, ssh-rsa, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384, ecdsa-sha2-nistp521.  at /etc/puppet/modules/hadmut/manifests/server/netzdienste/sshd.pp:141
Wrapped exception:
Invalid value "ssh-ed25519". Valid values are ssh-dss, ssh-rsa, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, ecdsa-sha2-nistp384, ecdsa-sha2-nistp521. 


The nist curves are considered insecure . Puppet should be able to install keys that are still seen as secure. 

regards
