[kepler-dev] SSH Help

[subhav mital]

Hi Norbert,
Thank you for helping out.

Sorry that I forgot to reply to your messages earlier on.

I replied to Michal's message on the same day but saved your response as an
unsent draft message as I was waiting for the new build to get installed on
my machine, thinking it would solve my prob.

Anyways, here are my responses:


Can you use this actor to login with password? - I have got pwdless login
working with the remote server.
I do not know how to try this with a password, with the SSH actor since most
of them use pwdless login, I guess?


Can you use this private key to login to that remote machine with
command-line ssh? - Yes, I can.

google search reveals to me that something have been changed in ssh server
configurations that is incompatible for older jsch versions. - Yes, you are
correct.
(like http://www.mail-archive.com/issues@maven.apache.org/msg54510.html)

Can you replace the ./common/lib/jar/jsch-0.1.31.jar with the recent version
and try it again?

- Do you mean jsch-0.1.42.zip<https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsch/files/jsch/jsch-0.1.42.zip/download>(282,216
bytes)  ?? Sounds like a good option, but how do I include this jar file?
ant get...

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/director/v6r1x/index.jsp?topic=/director.tbs_6.1/fqm0_r_tbs_cannot_deploy_agents_to_vmware.html
says something about the ciphers enabled at server side.  If you are admin
of the remote host, you may add (back) the 3des-cbc cipher as described on
this web page - I am not the admin and guess it would be difficult to get
this done, but could request the admin and see it this can be implemented.

Please could you send me your workflow with the working SSH actor ?

 Then I would know exactly if the SSH server needs to be configured. After
repeated attempts, I've realised that the problem lies during the copying
and may be a configuration issue with the remote server.

If I use the same SSH file copier to copy files from one local directory to
the other, it works fine (despite the condn that one must be a remote m/c
and the other a local m/c).

Thanks!
