OK, I see that.  Looks like it has support for it, however, I have libssh2 
version 1.4.3 installed.  I couldn’t find anything that says what 1.4.3 had 
support for.  Assuming that it DOES support the FIPS algorithms, what settings 
for an SSH connection will I need to set to allow this?  The only setting that 
looks close is the Encryption setting under “Guacamole Proxy Parameters 
(GUACD)”, but I’m not using it.

Thanks,
Harry

I will say this: late last week, we made all of our servers FIPS-2 compliant 
due to an IT requirement in our organization.  I’m suspecting that, since the 
server I’m trying to connect to is now FIPS-2 compliant, that’s why the “SSH 
handshake failed” error is happening.  But I don’t see anything in the 
connection setup to specify what encryption to use for SSH.


For SSH connections, the algorithms for Cipher and Key Exchange are determined 
by upstream support in the libssh2 library.  You can see the current list of 
supported ciphers, hashes, key exchanges, etc., on the web site:
