On Linux machine following error could be seen :

in /var/log/secure
Feb 28 22:24:54 JY-RH77 sshd[3456]: Unable to negotiate with 192.168.220.198 port 54104: no matching cipher found. Their offer: 3des-cbc [preauth]

or

Feb 28 23:03:41 JY-RH77 sshd[3149]: Unable to negotiate with 192.168.220.198 port 54290: no matching MAC found. Their offer: hmac-sha1 [preauth]

or

Mar 11 11:53:42 JY-RH77 sshd[14432]: Unable to negotiate with 192.168.220.193 port 56889: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 [preauth]

This problem could also occurs on AIX machine. In /var/log/authlog

Error is :

Unable to connect to remote machine

Environment:

Release : 14.0 all versions

Component : Client Automation

Resolution:

On Linux machine ;

1- Edit file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and

* add 3des-cbc in the cipher list (if Ciphers parameter is set)

Example :

Ciphers aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr,[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],3des-cbc

* add hmac-sha1 in the MACs list (if MACs parameter is set)

Example :
MACs [email protected],[email protected],[email protected],hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,[email protected],hmac-sha1

or hmac-md5 if deployment is made with idcmd tool

Example :

MACs [email protected],[email protected],[email protected],hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,[email protected],hmac-md5

* add diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 in the KexAlgorithms list (if KexAlgorithms parameter is set)

Example :
KexAlgorithms [email protected],diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

2- Restart ssh server :

sudo systemctl stop sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd

On AIX Machine :

1- Edit file /etc/ssh/sshd_config (see above)

2- Restart ssh server

stopsrc -s sshd

startsrc -s sshd
