Trying to connect to console results in notting:
Logging in as openhab

Only error in the logfile:
[WARN ] [shd.server.session.ServerSessionImpl] - exceptionCaught(ServerSessionImpl[openhab@/127.0.0.1:41562])[state=Opened] RuntimeSshException: null

Anything to get more specific error ?

Regards

Robert

Can you provide some more details? The specific command used like:

Ssh openhab@host

Hello,

i tried:
openhab-cli console
and
ssh -p 8101 openhab@localhost
Password authentication
Password:
Connection to localhost closed by remote host.
Connection to localhost closed.

Both both results in the same:
exceptionCaught(ServerSessionImpl[openhab@/127.0.0.1:39514])[state=Opened] RuntimeSshException: null

Password is habopen that what you used?

yes, i used habopen. Could not find any log to track the Problem,
cleaned cache and temp, restarted.

Well I am out of ideas. Hopefully someone else has a few. I made the mistakes I was helping with the first time I installed

Hm so luck to get it working.

Changed Password, tried to get a log.

Nothing

I have the exact same issue since 2.5M1 and it is still broken in 2.5M3 on Debian 9.

I also use the habopen password and no luck.

Any suggestions?

same problem here with 2.5M3. Worked with 2.5M1 though …
any ideas?

Me too

openhab 2.5.0.M3 on Funtoo Linux.

Same here. Issue appeared after install of 2.5M2. 2.5M1 worked fine.

I’d guess there’s either (bad) file permissions or (bad or incompatible) ssh options such as required ciphers in effect. That’s hard to debug unfortunately.
You could try strace -qfp <java PID> -o <outfile>, try to login, stop strace and grep for ‘ssh’ and ‘open’ in the file for hints.

You can also try the verbose option with SSH to get more insights in where the error occurs. Add -vvvv to the SSH command Lin.

Same problem here, it occurred when I upgraded to 2.5. I’ve tried a clean install of openhabian on my RPi and the problem is still present:

Upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5 (2.5.0-1 Arch Linux AUR package) today and was bit by the same bug with the exact same output of @SuburbanMe above using command:
ssh openhab@localhost -p 8101 -vvvv

The only thing I can add is that using public key authentication produces the same error.

Have you tried sudo openHAB-cli console?

No go. Log shows same error.

A little more context recently discovered:
On the same machine PuTTY can connect successfully to the console. So can JuiceSSH remotely on Android.
Still no love for openssh 8.1 client (from Arch) (using default ssh_config).
