"com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail" with working passwords

Question

While trying to upload the file to our server, i am getting the following exception

    com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail
        at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:464)
        at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:158)
        at FtpService.transferFileToReciever(FtpService.java:80)
        at FtpService.transferFileToReciever(FtpService.java:54)
        at FtpService.transferFileToRecievers(FtpService.java:44)
        at FtpService.transferSingeFile(FtpService.java:241)
        at FtpService.main(FtpService.java:26)
    Auth fail

The part of function transferFileToReciever from source file is

        JSch jsch = new JSch();
        jsch.addIdentity("/root/.ssh/id_dsa");
        Session session = jsch.getSession(username, host, 22);

        session.setUserInfo(serverinfo);
        session.connect(); //geting exception here

        boolean ptimestamp = true;

The passwords are working, since i can do login using ssh, but using JSCh it doesnt work even provided with key, username and password. Using id_dsa key with java version "1.6.0_25". What could be the error?

Found other similar question, but not the answer. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Tracing the root cause, i finally found that the public key of type dsa is not added to the authorized keys on remote server. Appending the same worked for me.

The ssh was working with rsa key, causing me to look back in my code.

thanks everyone.

Answer 2

Try to add auth method explicitly as below, because sometimes it is required:

session.setConfig("PreferredAuthentications", "password");

Answer 3

I have also face the Auth Fail issue, the problem with my code is that I have

channelSftp.cd("");

It changed it to

channelSftp.cd(".");

Then it works.

Answer 4

If username/password contains any special characters then inside the camel configuration use RAW for Configuring the values like

• RAW(se+re?t&23) where se+re?t&23 is actual password

• RAW({abc.ftp.password}) where {abc.ftp.password} values comes from a spring property file.

By using RAW, solved my issue.
