Comment (by ios3):

 We have developed one iOS application to ssh using libssh2 library. There
 is all things working fine with libssh2 version 1.4.2, But I required to
 use 1.4.3 version to support arm64 bit architecture.

 I have update version and now using with 1.4.3 all things is working fine
 except key authentication. I have made one RSA key to ssh with my server,
 I have copied public key in authorized key file so that we can connect
 with that pc/server.

 Using this key when I try to connect/ssh it returns me error
 -18"LIBSSH2_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED". When I tried to ssh with same
 key and same server it allows me without any issue using version 1.4.2
 (older one). I don't what's happen.

 USing this method with para to check authenticate status
 libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile(session, username, pubkey,privatekey
 ,password);

 Below is detail how I m gettig para
 const char *pubkey= [_publicKey
 cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
 const char *privatekey= [_privateKey
 cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
 password=NULL
 const char* username = [username1
 cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
 const char* password = [passWd cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

 Please let me know if any thing wrong or missing here. FOr key I haven't
 use any password while generate it.

 Let me know if any more info require.

 Thanks.
