Mike Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-945:
---------------------------------------
It looks like there's been quite a bit of progress on the libssh2 side since
this issue was opened. The key exchange types noted by GUACAMOLE-1052 are now
supported (with the possible exception of one that appears specific to libssh),
there is support for ECDSA keys and OpenSSH-style key files, and agent support
as of the latest release.
Perhaps this is no longer necessary except that we should bring things
up-to-date with the latest support available via libssh2? (Though the lack of a
libssh2-devel package on RHEL platforms would continue to be a pain...)

> Key: GUACAMOLE-945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-945
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SSH
> Reporter: Joonas Tuomisto
> Assignee: Mike Jumper
> Priority: Minor
>
> It appears Red Hat / CentOS stopped shipping libssh2 in version 8 which makes
> building Guacamole a hassle on those platforms - of course, this has nothing
> to do with Guacamole as such, but would it make sense to consider other
> libraries?
> I didn't look into this in depth so not sure if there's major benefits
> feature-wise and how much work this would entail...
> libssh seems to have undergone an external security audit recently so
> security could be one consideration.
> re: CentOS, this is discussed here: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16492
