Problems with com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect

Post by philhardackermann »

Occasionally our ftp-steps get an RC 11, and the step log looks like this (some information had to be anonymized, sorry):
  • EZA1736I FTP (EXIT
    EZY2640I Using dd:SYSFTPD=/etc/ftpssh.data for local site configuration parameters.
    EZA1450I IBM FTP CS V1R13
    EZA1772I FTP: EXIT has been set.
    EZA1456I Connect to ?
    EZA1736I ftpgwprd
    EZA1554I Connecting to:------------ XX.XX.XX.37 port: 21.
    220 (Co:Z FtpSshProxy)
    EZA1459I NAME (ftpgwprd:SPSYS03):
    EZA1701I >>> USER ftmftp
    331 Please specify the password.
    EZA1789I PASSWORD:
    EZA1701I >>> PASS
    530 verify: false
    EZA1735I Std Return Code = 26530, Error Code = 00011
    EZA1534I *** Control connection with ------------ dies.
The corresponding entries in COZPROXY's log show:

The funny thing is that the problem, albeit reoccuring, is still temporary - just rerun the step in question and everything is fine (AFAIK we've never had a case where the problem hit a job that did a re-run). Thus there shouldn't be an issue with the credentials used since they don't normally change within such a short time frame. Any ideas?

This message:

com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: verify: false

is an exception from JSch that indicates that there was an ssh connection failure during host key exchange. I don't know what SSH server or platform that you are using, but you may want to check the server logs for more failure diagnostics.

OK, thanks for the hint. I don't 'own' those systems, so I'll ask the people in question. AFAIK there's some unix involved on the target side.
