[Bug 1962726] [NEW] ssh-rsa key is no longer allowed by recent openssh

 

Public bug reported:

Description
===========
Currently create Key-pair API without actual key content returns the key generated at server side which is formatted in ssh-rsa.

However ssh-rsa is no longer supported by default since openssh 8.8

https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.8

```
This release disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm
by default. This change has been made as the SHA-1 hash algorithm is
cryptographically broken, and it is possible to create chosen-prefix
hash collisions for <USD$50K [1]
```

Actually in current CentOS 9 Stream, SHA1 is disabled by default and ssh-rsa no longer works.
Fedora disabled SHA1/ssh-rsa by default a while ago.

It's be required to support other formats like edcsa which are generally
recommended.

** Affects: nova
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- ssh-rsa key will not be allowed in future version of openssl/ssh
+ ssh-rsa key is no longer allowed by recent openssh

  Currently create Key-pair API without actual key content returns the key generated at server side which is formatted in ssh-rsa.
  
- However ssh-rsa will be disabled in upcoming openssl/openssh, and the plan is to remove it completely in the future.
- For example in current CentOS 9 Stream, SHA1 is disabled by default and ssh-rsa no longer works.
