Use of SSH jobs based on the Trilead implementation is deprecated

Deprecation

• With release 1.9 we switched from the Trilead implementation to JSch by JCraft:
  • JITL-123: JITL SSH Job should switch from Trilead to JSch implementation by JCraft
  • JITL-168: JITL SCP job uses JSch instead of Trilead
• A lot of new features have been added to SSH jobs:
  • JITL-112: Setting order parameters by shell scripts executed with SSH Jobs
  • JITL-147: Improve SSH session management to monitor and kill remote sessions
  • JITL-151: SSH jobs should support elliptic curves (ECDSA) for authentication
  • JITL-157: Provide JobScheduler environment variables for SSH sessions
• We recommend to our users to switch to the new JSch based SSH jobs in a foreseeable time slot:
  • Perform tests with the new SSH jobs starting from release 1.9
    • To activate the JSch implementation in JobScheduler add <param name="jitl.ssh.use_jsch_impl" value="true"/> to the params section of the file scheduler.xml.
  • Switch to production use of the new SSH jobs starting from release 1.10
    • The JSch implementation will be activated by default.
    • To fall back to the Trilead implementation in JobScheduler add <param name="jitl.ssh.use_jsch_impl" value="false"/> to the params section of the file scheduler.xml.
