Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported key format
In my Mac book pro with OS Majave, I used SSH-KEYGEN generate a new SSH key for node.js module SSH2. However, I got error message: Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported key format
I validated the key with ssh command, it just works fine. But not with the node.js module SSH2.
In the private key file, the header is
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- while the end is -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----.
I checked module ssh2-streams keyParser.js. The regexp pattern RE_HEADER_OPENSSH_PRIV does not include my header. Can anyone help?
node.js ssh openssh ssh-keygen ssh2

I found this issue in github.com/mscdex/ssh2-streams/issues/100 . Anyone have any idea to fall back the ssh-keygen to old version?

what parameters did you use forssh-keygen?

I tried "-o " and almost all combinations already. But it still use OPENSSH in the header. For now, I just copied the old private key for the SSH2.

the thing is, you shouldn't be using -o. See this article tutorialinux.com/convert-ssh2-openssh

Had the same problem, found the solution here.
basically use the PEM option when you create your key:
ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa
