Details

Attempting to use the Client Demo api example result in an error.

	open /Users/steven/.tsh/keys/teleport.example.com/steven-x509.pem: no such file or directory
➜  client-demo ls /Users/steven/.tsh/keys/teleport.example.com/

How will we know this is resolved?

Update to use the supported profile load for V17.

A workaround is a user does a login to a identity file.

tsh login --out=myuser.pem

Within the go code give the fully qualified path to the identity file.

                Credentials: []client.Credentials{
                        client.LoadIdentityFile("<path to myuser.pem>"),
                },

are you using the api module from v17? i.e.

To ensure compatibility, you should use a version of Teleport's API library that matches the major version of Teleport running in your cluster.

To find the pseudoversion appropriate for a go.mod file for a specific git tag, run the following command from the teleport repository:

go list -f '{{.Version}}' -m "github.com/gravitational/teleport/api@$(git rev-parse v12.1.0)" v0.0.0-20230307032901-49a6de744a3a

The major version of tsh which you use to log in should match the major version of the github.com/gravitational/teleport/api/client Go module, or else it may look in the wrong path for the user certificates. The path changed in Teleport v17

[stevenGravy]

It's the same v17
