Authfail error

[elijahfhopp]

I just made PR #379 which would hopefully fix that issue. I don't know if it is a dead repo. The author seems to be active, nonetheless, so I may email him if he doesn't see the PR.

@mrzeusthecoder Did you email the author? We are having the same problem with a new Linux server that issues a host key created using an algorithm that the current version of Jssh doesn't support. If you haven't asked the author already, I can try asking him for a new release. Maybe I can also volunteer in getting it published.

[elijahfhopp]

@twwwt I haven't emailed him yet. I have published it to an internal server for my employer and it is working. I will let you know when I email him and I will let you know if I publish the fork to the Gradle Plugin Portal or to a personal repo. 😃

Correction: I realize that this is the groovy library, not Hidetake's Gradle ssh plugin, 😅. Mb. The code is all there and you can just pull the fork and publish it to a maven repo.

@int128 In case you have the time to read this and react, I (and seemingly the rest of the users of this plugin) would highly appreciate if you could update both the Groovy SSH library and the Gradle SSH plugin to release a new version that supports recent cipher algorithms (that are meanwhile the default on most Linux distributions). Do you think you can find time to do that? It would be a pity if both would need to be forked in order to get control such that a news versions can be published; which would also require to use new names for both.

@twwwt I just sent this email to Hidetake:

Hello Mr. Iwata,

I recently opened a pull request on your groovy-ssh repo and another on your gradle-ssh-plugin repo. The pull requests update the repos to use a stable fork of Jsch (https://github.com/mwiede/jsch) which supports modern SSH protocols/ciphers. These PRs would fix authentication issues users are getting when trying to connect to servers running OpenSSH 7.0+.

Here are links to the PRs:
int128/groovy-ssh#294
#379

Is it possible for you to take a look at the pull requests and possibly make a release?

Your wonderful library has served me very well. There are unfortunately no other good options (aside from the ones that use groovy-ssh as a dependency, :D).

-Elijah

We'll see what happens. Ping me here if there is no movement and you need a public release.

[int128]

@mrzeusthecoder @twwwt Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate your great work. I will try a new release.

[elijahfhopp]

Thank you so much for taking time out to look into the PRs. So happy to be able to use this plugin again without extra complexity of a private repo. ❤️.

This plugin was published to Gradle Plugin Portal from Bintray, but it is no longer available.
I will contact the support to reclaim this plugin.

[elijahfhopp]

Is it possible for there to be a release now that the plugin has been reclaimed?

[int128]

Yes. I will try it.

[int128]

I just published a new version to https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.hidetake.ssh

Thanks @int128 for all you work on this plugin and @mrzeusthecoder for your contribution.
Is it expected that new version of gradle-ssh plugin is using groovy-ssh 2.8.0 (dependency in core build.gradle) and therefore jsch 0.1.53?

I would expect to use groovy-ssh 2.11.1 :)

I second that. I tried the new version 2.11.0 of the plugin today. The original problem (authentication failed) still exists.
