com.trilead.ssh2.DHGexParameters

public class DHGexParameters
extends java.lang.Object

A DHGexParameters object can be used to specify parameters for the diffie-hellman group exchange.

Depending on which constructor is used, either the use of a SSH_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST or SSH_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD can be forced.

Constructor Detail

DHGexParameters

public DHGexParameters()

Same as calling DHGexParameters(1024, 1024, 4096). This is also the default used by the Connection class.

DHGexParameters

public DHGexParameters(int pref_group_len)

This constructor can be used to force the sending of a SSH_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD request. Internally, the minimum and maximum group lengths will be set to zero.

Parameters:

pref_group_len - has to be >= 1024 and <= 8192

DHGexParameters

public DHGexParameters(int min_group_len,
                       int pref_group_len,
                       int max_group_len)

This constructor can be used to force the sending of a SSH_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST request.

Note: older OpenSSH servers don't understand this request, in which case you should use the DHGexParameters(int) constructor.

All values have to be >= 1024 and <= 8192. Furthermore, min_group_len <= pref_group_len <= max_group_len.

Parameters:

min_group_len -

pref_group_len -

max_group_len -

Method Detail

getMax_group_len

public int getMax_group_len()

Get the maximum group length.

Returns:

the maximum group length, may be zero if SSH_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD should be requested

getMin_group_len

public int getMin_group_len()

Get the minimum group length.

Returns:

minimum group length, may be zero if SSH_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST_OLD should be requested

getPref_group_len

public int getPref_group_len()

Get the preferred group length.

Returns:

the preferred group length
