[bug] custom remote SSH port does not work

[brosky]

Hi,

I have a console appliance that via SSH on port 22 gives administration menu and on port 7000 gives user menu.

Setting a custom port in hosts.json connects to port 22 instead of 7000

My config:

{ "name": "Console", "hostname": "1.2.3.4", "port": "7000", "key": "~/.ssh/id_rsa", "usergroups": [ "lnxadmins" ], hostgroups": [ "linuxservers" ] },

Log:

I've tried this with different hosts and it seems to always use port 22 - tcpdump on the outgoing interface shows nothing.

Yeah, that is a duplicate of #38 I think it can be applied with recent changes now.

Having the same issue for a server using port 2024. Tshark capture showing that despite the hosts.json file configured for port 2024, it ssh's to port 22.

@jgraham-bw you're using JSON provider, right?

@jgraham-bw @brosky

For JSON provider, ssh custom port should work now, can you please test and let me know your feedback?

[jgraham-bw]

Thank you for the quick reply. Pulled the new code, but getting a traceback error now. Formatting was bad here, attached traceback. aker_port_traceback.txt

[anazmy]

Most probably you have the old json file format. The change is simple, please change port to ssh_port in the json file and retry.

[jgraham-bw]

Yep, that was the problem. Thank you very much!!! Custom port issue is fixed.

Thanks for confirming
