Support for hmac-sha256 in edtFTPj/PRO V5.3.1 or later

Question

Does edtFTPj/Pro support hmac-sha256? Is there a list of supported ciphers for each version of the product?

Answer 1

Please refer to our version history here . Also if you are running edtFTPj/PRO and you set debug level logging, then make a test connection, and re-check the log, you will see all the supported ciphers listed in the debug log for that particular version. 

You can also find them in the API documentation in our User Guide: for SSH here, for SSL here. 

Comments

I appreciate the info, it would be really helpful if you had a definitive list of what is supported. Can you confirm this from your API user guide as the list of supported MACs:
HMAC-MD5, HMAC-MD5-96, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA1-96, HMAC-SHA2-256, HMAC-SHA2-512

Is there any plan to add HMAC-SHA256?

A definitive list is difficult to keep up to date, but in any particular version if you look at the API documentation it should be clear.

The revision history says hmac-sha2-512 and hmac-sha2-256 were added for SSH/SFTP in 4.8.0, which is a few years ago.

I understand that, but can I ask if you have plans to add support for HMAC-SHA256?

hmac-sha2-256 is HMAC-SHA256

We are testing to a server that allows these macs: hmac-sha1-96, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha256@ssh.com
It will not negotiate and agree when we offer hmac-sha2-256

At this point you'll need to open a support ticket, see https://enterprisedt.com/support
