IT46496: DOCUMENTATION ABOUT SUPPORTED HOST AND PUBLIC KEY TYPE ALGORITHMS AND OTHER SUPPORTED CIPHER/MAC/ALGOS FOR SFTP CONNECTIVITY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is asking for documentation about supported
  algos/key-types for SFTP connectivity similar to for SFTP 1 and
  SFTP 2.0 client and server adapters:
  
  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/secure-fi
  le-transfer-protocol-support#supported-algorithms
  
  I can see some of these lists in security.properties file
  (SSHKeyExchangeAlgList, SSHServerCipherList,
  SSHClientCipherList, SSHMacAlgList) but there's no information
  regarding supported key types. Customer is currently on 5.2.6
  and needs this info for both 6.1 and 6.2 to be able to decide
  the upgrade path and version
  

Local fix

• Update security.properties.in file to server like a
  documentation for supported host and public key type algorithms
  and other supported cipher/mac/algos for sftp connectivity.
