Hello,
I have been using the SSH actor to connect to a remote host and get the
following error:

Exception caught in .ssh2executeActor.SSH to Execute
(com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException)
Algorithm negotiation fail

I have followed all the procedures for pwdless connections such as:

cantin at sodium:~> ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/cantin/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/cantin/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/cantin/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
f6:61:a8:27:35:cf:4c:6d:13:22:70:cf:4c:c8:a0:23 cantin at sodium

 The command ssh-keygen -t rsa initiated the creation of the key pair.

No passphrase was entered (Enter key was pressed instead).

The private key was saved in .ssh/id_rsa. This file is read-only and only
for you. No one else must see the content of that file, as it is used to
decrypt all correspondence encrypted with the public key.

The public key is save in .ssh/id_rsa.pub.

In this case, the content of file id_rsa.pub is

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEArkwv9X8eTVK4F7pMlSt45pWoiakFkZMw
G9BjydOJPGH0RFNAy1QqIWBGWv7vS5K2tr+EEO+F8WL2Y/jK4ZkUoQgoi+n7DWQVOHsR
ijcS3LvtO+50Np4yjXYWJKh29JL6GHcp8o7+YKEyVUMB2CSDOP99eF9g5Q0d+1U2WVdB
WQM= cantin at sodium

Copy the content to .ssh/authorized_keys of the system you wish to SSH to
without being prompted for a password.


However, I still get the above error. Please suggest a way to resolve this.


Thanks
