SSHJ provider - private key from the absolute file system path and use of a Credential Store

Current Situation

• JobScheduler 1.13.10, 1.13.11
  • When JITL SSH jobs are configured to use the following settings:
    • ssh_provider=sshj
    • ssh public key authentication
    • use a credential store
  • then the SSH job throws the following error when a private key is used from an absolute file system path :

        Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException 
        at com.sos.vfs.sftp.sshj.common.SSHProviderUtil.getKeyProviderFromKeepass(SSHProviderUtil.java:29)

Workaround

• JobScheduler 1.13.10, 1.13.11
  • Use the default ssh provider (ssh_provider=JSCH)
• JS7
  • Do not use a credential store
