[FreeNX-kNX] establish a encrypted NX session using an alternative SSH client

[Julio Carlos Barrera Juez]

Hi again, I have noticed that remote 'nxagent' is listening on the correct port and when local 'nxproxy' starts the connection is established. But the session fails after 1 minute. It seems that a negotiation between both is not well done. I invoke the 'nxproxy' by the same way with 'nxssh' and with my custom program and SSL port forwarded tunnel, the it must be a negotiation failure.

The 'nxnode' log shows me the failure, but not the reason:

...
06.07 13:49:49: node_start_agent (8225): Wait for NODE_AGENT_PID (8524)
06.07 13:50:35: node_start_agent (8225): NODE_AGENT_EXIT_STATUS = "1"
06.07 13:50:35: node_start_agent (8225): close session
06.07 13:50:35: node_start_agent (8225): NODE_FAILED = "failed"
...

And the session log shows a failure with the display, but I don't understand why:

NXAGENT - Version 3.5.0

What I'm doing bad?

Thank you!

Asunto: [FreeNX-kNX] establish a encrypted NX session using an alternative SSH client

Hi all.

I'm developing a Java based NX client. In my first sprint I have developed a NX handler to establish NX sessions using a SSH pure Java library called JSCH (http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/). It worked with few source code lines and I achieve establishing NX sessions without encryption (SSL Port forwarding). Now I'm trying to do the same, but using encrypted NX sessions that only use one SSH port. I change the 'startsession' parameter and I create a SSL forwarded tunnel in my SSH client. I know that using 'nxssh', it is necessary to say 'bye' to the server and then write the command 'NX> 299 Switch connection to: SSH port: local_port  accept: 127.0.0.1'. Then I launch 'nxproxy' and the remote NX session starts.

The problem appeared when I tried to launch the original 'nxproxy' with my custom SSL port forwarded tunnel. 'nxproxy' connected with the local listening port, but it seems it didn't connect with the remote 'nxagent' which was listening in the correct port. Maybe I was establishing bad the port forwarded tunnel, but I have no evidences of it.

It is possible to establish the whole connection using 'openssh' standard client instead of 'nxssh', it will help me a lot to understand the whole process.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!
