Roberto Deandrea created SSHD-834:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Missing configurable source bind address in connect
method of org.apache.sshd.clientSshClient
Key: SSHD-834
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-834
Project: MINA SSHD
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Roberto Deandrea
On multi homed machines (2+ network interfaces) it could be very useful to be
able to set the source bind address of the originating connection for
SshClient(s) connecting to remote SSH servers.
If not set explicitly, the source bind address is chosen between one of the
available addresses on the machine.
Sometimes firewalls block/reject TCP connections originating from particular
ip addresses but with this new parameter this issue could be bypassed.
Is it possible to add and implement the following method in the
ClientSessionCreator interface ?
ConnectFuture connect(String username, SocketAddress local, SocketAddress
remote) throws IOException;
The new parameter "local" represents the local source bind address.
Bye.
Roberto
