I updated to 1.480.3 (from 1.480.2) so i also updated all plugins
-> so ssh-slaves was updated from 0.22 to 0.23

The upgrade process seems to have created all needed entries for the ssh-credentials plugin. But they are not working (keyfile + pwd type)! [TRACE]

The same effect appears when i create the new entry manually. Which does NOT work when:

• using "Enter directly"
• using "From a file on Jenkins master " with relative or absolute path
• using "From the Jenkins master ~/.ssh"
• using not the keyfile password but the password of the user

There also no changes in the error message when typing in a wrong username, or a wrong password.

It only works when loging in with username password combination. So i would say the keyfile authentication is completely broken.

PS: via plain ssh i can login with that keyfile.
