Symptoms

when new users generate SSH Keys with RSA and connect GIT it is failing with below error. Their access to UI works fine and they are able to access the repository.
They are using SSH to clone the repository. They are using private keys for authentication. Their keys are uploaded to their GIT accounts.

They are hitting the below error.

************************************
 git clone ssh://idcs-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.<firstName>.<LastName>@XYZ.com@proj-test.developer.ocp.oraclecloud.com/git-test_bi_10729/bi.git
Cloning into 'bi'...
//idcs-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.<firstName>.<LastName>@XYZ.com@proj-test.developer.ocp.oraclecloud.com: Permission denied (keyboard-interactive,publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

To work around the issue we had generated the SSH key using "ed25519"

 ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 4096

1.) Does VBS only supports ed25519 and and no longer supports RSA for new SSH keys?
3.) what algorithm are supported for SSH key for VBS
