Hi All, Hope you are all well!
I’m currently working on an task that involves sending files to a sftp server but instead of using credentials I am required to use an ssh private key for authentication. I have already proven that connection with the private key is successful via command line : sftp -i <path_to_private_key> username@hostname …so I know that there is no issue with the privateKey itself! We store the public key in AWS Secrets manager and this is injected into our application via Spring Cloud’s AWS Secrets Manager config starter. This is injected into SpringBoot’s application.properties. I’ve added debug logging to ensure there is no issue with the injecting. That value then gets stored as an exchangeProperty and converted into a Byte Array and pass it to the sftp command: .to(“sftp://{{sftp.hostname}}:{{sftp.port}}/{{sftp.root.folder}}{{sftp.infolder}}?username={{sftp.username}}&privateKey=${exchangeProperty.sshPrivateKey}”) When we trigger this route and the above line is executed we get the following error: org.apache.camel.component.file.GenericFileOperationFailedException: Cannot connect to sftp://gbt...@glue.brickftp.com:22 … Caused by: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: invalid privatekey After a bit of investigation I came across this StackOverflow article<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67937961/apache-camel-sftp-jschexception-invalid-privatekey-b7c033a39-with-openssh> and noted that put private key was an openssh key so took the user Matthias Wiedemann’s advice and switch JSCH library and attempted to connect again but with similar failure. Was hoping that someone may have experienced something similar before and may be able to help out.
