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.
