Jean-Baptiste Onofré updated KARAF-5809:
----------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.2.1
> 'simple' host.key files no longer work
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: KARAF-5809
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-5809
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: karaf-shell
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0
> Reporter: Johannes Utzig
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.2.1
>
>
> It seems that with KARAF-5286 support for the 'simple' host key format was
> removed.
> If one tries to connect to a karaf instance that still has a 'simple'
> host.key, it produces this exception:
> org.apache.commons.ssl.ProbablyNotPKCS8Exception: asn1 parse failure:
> java.io.IOException: DER length more than 4 bytes
> It seems that in this case the SSH server generates a new key in memory
> without persisting it which means that on each start the client will see a
> new SSH fingerprint.
> I would like to submit a pull request that falls back to the old format in
> case the file is not a valid PEM. If that's successful it would replace the
> host.key with a PEM version of that keypair.
