Problem summary

  • Users Affected:
    SFTP Server users
    
    Problem Description:
    The SFTP Server banner message (sftp.properties.BannerMessage=)
    cannot be disabled. When Blanking out this property, the Server
    uses the default Banner.  Some of the SFTP clients were not
    able to establish connections with the Sterling B2B Integrator
    SFTP Server, since the server is always returning the banner
    message.
    
    Platforms Affected:
    All
    

Problem conclusion

  • Resolution Summary:
    If the BannerMessage property is blanked out in sftp.properties,
    no Banner will be shown to SFTP Clients. (Eg., BannerMessage=)
    If the BannerMessage property is initialized with a string, it
    will be sent to the SFTP client. If this property is missing,
    the default banner will be displayed to the SFTP Client.
