public PromiscuousVerifier()

Method Details

verify

public boolean verify(String hostname,
 int port,
 PublicKey key)

Description copied from interface: HostKeyVerifier

This callback is invoked when the server's host key needs to be verified. The return value indicates to the caller whether the SSH connection should proceed.

Note: host key verification is the basis for security in SSH, therefore exercise due caution in implementing!

Specified by:

verify in interface HostKeyVerifier

Parameters:

hostname - remote hostname

port - remote port

key - host key of server

Returns:

true if key is acceptable, false otherwise

findExistingAlgorithms

public List<String> findExistingAlgorithms(String hostname,
 int port)

Description copied from interface: HostKeyVerifier

It is necessary to connect with the type of algorithm that matches an existing know_host entry. This will allow a match when we later verify with the negotiated key HostKeyVerifier.verify

Specified by:

findExistingAlgorithms in interface HostKeyVerifier

Parameters:

hostname - remote hostname

port - remote port

Returns:

existing key types or empty list if no keys known for hostname
