SSH Config being ignored

SUMMARY

using the core.remote module the /home/stanley/.ssh/config is being ignored. Not sure if I missed something.

STACKSTORM VERSION

[root@stackstorm centos]# st2 --version
st2 3.6.0, on Python 3.6.8

OS, environment, install method

New install, a beginner using shell script to get it up and running.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Configured /etc/st2/st2.conf with the below per "ssh troubleshooting" guide.

[system_user]
user = stanley
ssh_key_file = /home/stanley/.ssh/stanley_rsa

...

[ssh_runner]
remote_dir = /tmp
use_ssh_config = True
ssh_config_file_path = ~/.ssh/config

Expected Results

Remote cli execution success

Actual Results

It parses the config but then appears to ignore it.

Output from debug /var/log/st2/st2actionrunner.236327.log

Thanks!

Start with the core.remote entry point, /etc/st2/st2.conf, and the paramiko_ssh runner shown in the log. Compare the parsed SSH configuration with the subsequent connection information, then verify the configured host settings are used and remote CLI execution succeeds.
