[jira] [Updated] (VFS-283) SFTP can not use private keys protected by pass phrase

["Mevlut Evren Tekin (Updated) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-283?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mevlut Evren Tekin updated VFS-283:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: vfs-283.patch

The datatype for identities has been changed from File[] to LinkedHashMap<File,String> to allow storing and retrieving privateKeyFile-passphrase pairings. Method names and interfaces were left unchanged to allow backward compatibility for existing applications using getIdentities and setIdentities methods in SftpSystemConfigBuilder class. Two new methods (setIdentityPairs and getIdentityPairs) have been added to the new class to allow passphrase support for publickey authentication. identities variable in createConnection method in SftpClientFactory class is now defined as Map<File,String> datatype instead of File[] for passphrase support.

> There is no code in org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.sftp.SftpClientFactory that deals with pas phrases.
