Unknown SSH Handshake error about nexpose-client HOT 5 CLOSED

The error text you have there seems unrelated to your credential use as it is from a "Default Account Check". Relevant error messages would be along the lines of "administrative credentials failed to validate" or similar.

I'll have to look into this some more to see what is wrong because I know this functionality should work and we have automated test coverage using it that runs nightly. It's likely to be some minor mis-use or missing option.

Yes i get the logs you mentioned as well.

I get the same issue using SharedCredentials as well, but on adhoc basis say its successful 1 out of 5 times, so that made it even more puzzling as to why it worked the 1 time it did.

Do you have a sample code with SiteCredentials setup.
What about the CredentialManagement option when done through code?

Also i tried to ssh to the target box manually from the nexpose server, dont have any issues there, works everytime.
Also i tried the Test Credential in the UI, it works there too on adhoc basis, say 1 out of 5 times.

@gschneider-r7 did you get a chance to look at my updated comments.
Thanks

Sorry I haven't had a chance to follow up on this. Since you are seeing similar behavior in the UI you may want to open a support case as that indicates the problem would not be with the gem. That's very unusual to not have consistent success or failure with SSH credentials.

Closing this issue as it seems to be unrelated to the gem.
