Topic: MobaXterm connect to WolfSSH SFTP

I am using WolfSSH (1.4.17) connect to MobaXterm (V24.2) SFTP server.
But authentication fail!
Old WolfSSH (1.4.3) is ok.

Then check WolfSSH debug log, shows:
>> DoKexDhReply: Signature Verify fail (-229)
>> Leaving DoKeyDhRelay(), ret = -1018

Check the error code -1018, is WS_RSA_E,
RSA signature fail, but why?

Re: MobaXterm connect to WolfSSH SFTP

Hi Riker,

The error -229 means the RSA signature verification failed. It could mean the public key presented doesn't match the private key used. It could also be that it's an RSA key size that is not enabled. For example using RSA 4096-bit might require setting SP_INT_BITS 4096. Or perhaps it's trying to use an older SHA-1 or a new SHA2/SHA3 that is not enabled.

Can you share more of the logs or wirehshark? Can you tell us more about the hardware platform running wolfSSH client? Can you share the build settings used for wolfCrypt and wolfSSH?

Thanks,
David Garske, wolfSSL

Re: MobaXterm connect to WolfSSH SFTP

And I also found when key exchange init
WolfSSH v1.4.3 send key, first is ecdsa, then rsa, after handshaking, choose ecdsa.
But WolfSSH v1.4.17 packet, first key is rsa, then ecdsa (attach file), choose rsa and fail.

How to change priority?

Re: MobaXterm connect to WolfSSH SFTP

There was a bug in the RSA verification in the client in v1.4.17. It was fixed for v1.4.18. Which version of wolfSSL are you using?
