How to create a profile with AWS Bastion (jump host)?

[blasteralfred (Alfred)]

Hi,

I am on Catalina 10.15.7 . I would like to connect to a private IP EC2 on AWS using a jump server (Bastion) and private key. What I usually does using terminal is like below;

ssh-add private
ssh -A user@BASTION_IP
ssh user@PRIVATE_IP

This works fine. But I would like to create a profile for PRIVATE_IP so that I just want to login to the private IP just with a double tap. What I tried with Core Shell is like below (SSH Profile);

But I am unable to connect and getting error. First it shows Jumping and then it shows Connection failed. Retry after. I also tried configuring jump server as user@BASTION_IP.

Is there anything wrong with my config? How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Sorry for late reply, my Mac was damaged and just recover from a spare computer

Could you please try with equivalent command in local terminal, and paste the log here?

You can find the equivalent command from connection log:

Enable logging

The default logging level is set to Info, Debug1, Debug2 and Debug3 each specify higher levels of verbose output. [image] Core Shell Open or go to Hosts tab, right click on the host and select Edit Settings… from context menu, navigate to Connection tab, then scroll down to Log Level option. Press ⌘ I (or select Shell -> Show Inspector from main menu) reveals shell session information, as well as log content. [image] Core Tunnel Navigate to tunnel's Settings…, Connection tab, then scrol…

Hi Yang, I figured it out.

The issue was with the key. If I add the key first using the ssh command (using mac terminal), and then try to connect in core shell, it works like charm.

ssh-add mykey
