      Everytime i attempt to connect using Public Key option with SSH tunneling i get “SSH Error: Unable to authenticate” error.

      I can use the same exact information, same key file to connect using an SSH client and also Navicat (competing product).

      I have reviewed the settings a dozen times, tried remove profiles and re-entering but getting the same issue. Even have cut and paste settings used in SQLYog into my SSH client and the connects w/o issue.

      Any suggestions hunting down the problem?

      Hi,

      SQLyog uses PuTTY Private Key Files (ppk format) for public/private key authentication. So, please make sure that the key file you are using is in ppk format. If you are using ppk format and still getting the error, make sure your pass-phrase is correct. You can try the same with PuTTY(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html).

      If you are using OpenSSH keys, refer the following link to convert them into ppk format

      Also please visit the below SQLyog FAQ link for common SSH error messages.
