java ssh client not working - throws java.io.IOException

[rpug_]

Hi everyone,

When I enter an ssh address such as ssh://some.server.com, the java applet launches but is unable to connect. The error I receive is:

Sorry, Could not connect: java.io.IOexception: Unable to open connection

Your (sic) are either behind a firewall or the Java Telnet Applet has a broken configuration.

If unsure, please contact the administrator of the web page.

Not sure if I have to do something special to make these connections work or what.. any thoughts?

Thanks.

I've noticed this issue too. We don't have this problem on our IVEs running 5.4R2.1. However, when we upgraded to 6.2R2.1 this problem presented itself.

Any suggestions for a resolution would be most helpful.

Thanks

Our issue has been resolved. We needed to recreate our Telnet/SSH Resource Policy statements.

Upgraded to 6.2.r2.1 and anything that uses java is now broke in the secure virtual workspace. Almost looks like the java trusted certificates are not flowing through from the host OS. Any ideas??? Support has had my ticket for 3 days now and not a single idea. I am not very impressed with the functionality while inside the SVW. It is nearly the best sub product of the SSL VPN and hardly works (java, activeX, VISTA, etc).

We have the same problem on 6.3R2.

This is a complete pain. I want to enable certain users to access any host via ssh by defining their own sessions, but this does not work unless there is also an ssh resource profile for the host.

Posted too soon.

The answer is that you need a Resource Policy to permit ssh to any host. You then apply that to the appropriate user role.

For instance the policy would permit access to *.mycompany.com:22

Then user-defined ssh sessions work correctly.
