Hello,

I'm currently checking secure bridge trial version on C++ Builder5 (SSH Client).

when I launched sshclient Demo, and try to connect on ssh server I have this message "Format of server version is invalid".
When I try to connect on the same SSH server with Putty it's OK.

I check the logread on the server (with putty), it seems the cnx is closed before Authentification.(authpriv.info dropbear:Exit before auth:Exited normally

-securebridge 4.01 trial version downloaded in nov 2011;
-ssh client Dropbear sshd v0.53.1

Thanks for your help.
regards


does anyone has an idea?

I cannot reproduce the problem. Can you provide access to your SSH server to investigate the problem?

I'm afraid it's not possible to give you an access on our server because we are on a private network.

But, perhaps could you indicate me what is the origin of this message "Format of server version is invalid" and/or what I could do to find a solution.

I can say you I check on a server with ssh Dropbear sshd v0.53.1 and also on 2nd one, server Solaris with OpenSSH 5.3.
In both cases I had the same error message "Format of server version is invalid".
On these both server I checked with putty (release 0.58 ) and Teraterm and ssh connections were OK.

What I made is launch CBuilder5.exe, click on Authentication kind "Password", fill server address, user name and password and then clic "connect SSH". Did I forget anything?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards.

Please try connecting to your SSH server with Telnet and send me the result string returned by the server.

Hello,

Log and capture Wireshark sent you by email.
I sent 2 Wireshark capture, for comparison, on connection on our dropbear server, first with Secure bridge ClientSSH demo and a second one with Putty.
Let me know if you want the same thing on a Solaris/OpenSSH_5.3

regards.
