RTE Protocol - allow additional (newer) HostKeyAlgorithms for SSH Connection

Status: Declined

This is a limitation on vendor and not Load Runner.

over 4 years ago

Due to increasing security demands, the allowed HostKeyAlgorithms on the target UNIX/Linux machines are restricted.

For example by adding the following line into sshd_config on the target machine.

HostKeyAlgorithms ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ssh-ed25519

With this limitation, RTE Power Term is no longer able to connect via SSH.

Since these HostkeyAlgorithms are working fine with other Terminal Emulators, like Putty, MobaXterm, Reflection Desktop, etc.

since more than 2 years already, these Algorithms should be supported by RTE Protocol / Ericom Powerterm as well.

This request is really urgent due to security demands.
