If you specify to authenticate a client through public key on the server, the client needs to read the local
private key when logging in to the SFTP server. Since both RSA and DSA are available for public key
authentication, you need to use the identity-key key word to specify the algorithms to get correct local
private key; otherwise you will fail to log in. For details, see SSH Operation Manual.
