SAP PI SFTP adapter algorithm negotiation failed

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have configured SFTP receiver adapter with user/pwd and fingerprint.

when the message is processed , it gives an error :

Algorithm negotiation failed.

Now by looking at other threads:

1. my JCE file Policy is unlimited (all green tick)

2. My support pack is 16 PI 7.40.

3. I can connect fine with WinSCP/Filezilla with the above details.

4. I can do telnet to the FTP detsination from with in PI OS level (so assuming no firewall issue).

Please guide as what else could be the issue?

Thanks.

Hi,

You need to capture an XPI Inspector trace which would reveal the root cause. In most cases the key-exchange methods do not match or the cipher suites. Check KBA 2344454 - "com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Algorithm negotiation fail" error in Message Monitoring wh... which describes the features of the SFTP adapter.

Best regards,
Mate

Yes, XPI_Inspector revealed the negotiation was failing on the key exchange methods. SFTP server has higher level of security. Potential solution is to upgrade SFTP adapter to a latest version.
