Hi, I have an application using libssh2 that was working fine until I moved to a new server running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, from one running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Now libssh2_session_handshake() on the client fails with result code LIBSSH2_ERROR_KEX_FAILURE and libssh2_session_last_error() reports "Unable to exchange keys". Auth.log on the server reports:
sshd[21850]: Unable to negotiate with 104.48.39.9 port 57156: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 [preauth] This seems odd for a few reasons. I rebuilt the client app with the latest version of libssh2, and this is supposed to also support diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256, but that wasn't offered. Also the version of openssh on the Ubuntu server supposedly supports the key exchange methods that were offered but apparently rejected. I tried adding KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha to /etc/ssh_config (and then restarting ssh) but it made no difference. I can ssh and sftp to the server using various clients without any problem. The issue is only with trying to sftp using libssh2. I'd really appreciate some help with this. I've already spent a lot of time on it.Thanks in advance. Matthew Fleming, MD Fleming Dermatopathology Milwaukee, WI USA
