[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-5816) SFTP cannot connect due to JSch limitations

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5816?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16876986#comment-16876986 ] 

Matt Hagenbuch commented on NIFI-5816:
--------------------------------------

The JSch limitation also applies to the NiFi Registry GitFlowPersistenceProvider.  Basically, modern OpenSSH keys cannot be used to authenticate with Git servers using this library as discussed here [https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1095599/]

> Hi,
> The JSch library used for SFTP does not support HostKeyAlgorithms=ed25519 whereas it is the current standard. This make SFTP / SSH unusable when dealing with recent openssh config.
> On dbeaver project they switched to sshj.

> One more argument against JSch is that it does not support rsa key length other than default (2048).
> ssh-keygen -o -t rsa -b 4096 -f id_rsa -> does not work with nifi
> ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id_rsa -> works with nifi
> Thanks and regards

> PS : sorry but I do not know nifi deep enough to fill all fields.
