Hello
I am trying to enable all supported key exchange methods, ciphers and HMACs to
handle connecting to some truly ancient servers. The setup code is:
ssh_session session = ssh_new();
fprintf(stderr, "SETTING KEYEX %s\n", ALL_KEYEX_METHODS);
if(ssh_options_set(session, SSH_OPTIONS_KEY_EXCHANGE, ALL_KEYEX_METHODS) < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "FAILED TO SET KEYEX\n");
}
fprintf(stderr, "SETTING CIPHERS %s\n", ALL_CIPHERS);
if(ssh_options_set(session, SSH_OPTIONS_CIPHERS_C_S, ALL_CIPHERS) < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "FAILED TO SET CIPHERS\n");
}
fprintf(stderr, "SETTING HMACS %s\n", ALL_HMACS);
if(ssh_options_set(session, SSH_OPTIONS_HMAC_C_S, ALL_HMACS) < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "FAILED TO SET HMACS\n");
}
Where the ALL_* values are constants defining all the supports things (see
below)
When I run the code my connection fails. The output is:
SETTING KEYEX

SETTING HMACS

ERROR: failed to connect: kex error : no match for method kex algos: server

(code 2)
So the ssh_options_set() calls aren't failing but the values don't seem to have
been applied as the client keyex list doesn't include the diffie-helman SHA1
methods that I set?
What am I doing wrong here?
