Answer 1

You need to turn off selinux: setenforce 0

Answer 2

I had the exact same issue on CentOs, turned out to be due to Centrify being used to manage ssh keys, which is non standard, but part of our corporate server management processes.

I'm not overly familiar with Centrify as its managed by another team, but I resolved this issue by creating a sym link from the gitlab authorised-keys file into /etc/sshd/auth-keys/git.

The authorizedkeys file value gave me the location the sym link needed to go to, determined with sshd -T

Resulting in this resolving my issue:

ln -s /var/opt/gitlab/.ssh/authorized_keys /etc/ssh/auth-keys/git
