Hi List, I am having this intermittent error when authenticating to an sftp server. It is always the same server and always the same program; connecting fails about once every 5 times with this error coming from SessionHelper.java, method doReadIdentification. I had this error before and upgraded to Mina 2.6.0 from maven (org.apache.sshd, sshd-core et al) but that changed nothing. The code runs on Ubuntu Linux 18.04 (Azure, sigh) with Java 11.
I tried to do some debugging and for that I changed SessionHelper so that it dumps the information that it is trying to read at that time from its buffer. Because that always died with that NUL character as the first character read I made the code continue to read a bit so that there might be some context.. What is present in that buffer at this time is this: >> BAD IDENT: 0000: 00 00 01 d4 0b 14 61 6d 98 4e 26 2a 4f 39 00 2a ......am.N&*O9.* 0010: b8 3c 94 9d 16 49 00 00 00 47 64 69 66 66 69 65 .<...I...Gdiffie 0020: 2d 68 65 6c 6c 6d 61 6e 2d 67 72 6f 75 70 2d 65 -hellman-group-e 0030: 78 63 68 61 6e 67 65 2d 73 68 61 32 35 36 2c 64 xchange-sha256,d 0040: 69 66 66 69 65 2d 68 65 6c 6c 6d 61 6e 2d 67 72 iffie-hellman-gr 0050: 6f 75 70 2d 65 78 63 68 61 6e 67 65 2d 73 68 61 oup-exchange-sha 0060: 31 00 00 00 0f 73 73 68 2d 72 73 61 2c 73 73 68 1....ssh-rsa,ssh 0070: 2d 64 73 73 00 00 00 41 61 65 73 31 32 38 2d 63 -dss...Aaes128-c 0080: 74 72 2c 61 65 73 31 39 32 2d 63 74 72 2c 61 65 tr,aes192-ctr,ae 0090: 73 32 35 36 2d 63 74 72 2c 61 65 73 31 32 38 2d s256-ctr,aes128- 00a0: 63 62 63 2c 61 65 73 31 39 32 2d 63 62 63 2c 61 cbc,aes192-cbc,a 00b0: 65 73 32 35 36 2d 63 62 63 00 00 00 41 61 65 73 es256-cbc...Aaes 00c0: 31 32 38 2d 63 74 72 2c 61 65 73 31 39 32 2d 63 128-ctr,aes192-c 00d0: 74 72 2c 61 65 73 32 35 36 2d 63 74 72 2c 61 65 tr,aes256-ctr,ae 00e0: 73 31 32 38 2d 63 62 63 2c 61 65 73 31 39 32 2d s128-cbc,aes192- 00f0: 63 62 63 2c 61 65 73 32 35 36 2d 63 62 63 00 00 cbc,aes256-cbc.. 0100: 00 The error occurs when reading that 00 at offset 0000; the rest of the data is there by looking into the rest of that buffer.. Can anyone help me with what is wrong here? Regards, Frits
