Pro tip: If your key located in different path or does not have the default filename, you will need to pass the path to ssh-add command as follows:
$ ssh-add /path/to/my/ssh_key
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/server3_key

**Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.**
ssh-add is ultimate solution for above problem.
Yup: this approach worked for me. Got this error during trial 11.2.0.3 Grid Infrastructure installation over pair of Oracle Linux 6.2 VMs in virtualbox on laptop. Cheers Vivek. No reference to this in E22489-06. Maybe Oracle should pay *you* a license…
Actually i tryed ssh-add command in ubuntu 10.04 when i want to logged in to remote linux system without password ,there is an error message came ”Agent admitted failure to sign using the key” and it asked for password then i try ssh-add command and it works fine.
Above error came after creating keys.
thx
was discouraged in the past about password-less ssh
but this post

Hey,
Thanks a lot!
ssh-add solved my problem
Thanks
Its working…
Hi Guys, I am working on Linux 6.5 under VM Machine and on my Oracle Install, I got suck with it, with ssh connectivity, and I tried it on terminal with the ssh-add command and it worked as charm, but later on Install it again failed and I tried on terminal it again started asking me to put the password, Any idea what else is stopping the Agent again and getting the under mentioned Message and who to move on it.
“” Agent admitted failure to sign using the key””
Finally did the by-pass of Agent with command as “” SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 “”
Thanks, worked for me!
Thanks for the solution. But here’s a better one, better than restarting the desktop:
forget about keys:
ssh-add -D
and then optionally add your key again:
ssh-add
You haved saved my day, man :)
Great tip.It worked for me.
This post is really very helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers
This does not work for me. After doing ‘ssh-add’, I now get the “Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.” message twice. I didn’t use to get this message at all, but now lately it has started happening. What am I doing wrong?
it worked!, thanks a lot!
same problem here => “Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.”
there is a bug report for this…
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1380084
but unfortunately it offers only workarounds
lol this worked for me too with openshift. wow. I even closed my terminal window, reopened, and restarted zshell by typing `zsh`.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gracias
