| |
| The SSH component enables access to SSH servers such that you can send |
| an SSH command, and process the response. |
| |
| Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their `pom.xml` |
| for this component: |

| |
| with the following path and query parameters: |
| |
| === Path Parameters (2 parameters): |
| |
| |
| [width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"] |
| |=== |
| | Name | Description | Default | Type |
| | *host* | *Required* Sets the hostname of the remote SSH server. | | String |
| | *port* | Sets the port number for the remote SSH server. | 22 | int |
| |=== |
| |
| |
| === Query Parameters (35 parameters): |
| |
| |
| [width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"] |
| |=== |
| | Name | Description | Default | Type |
| | *failOnUnknownHost* (common) | Specifies whether a connection to an unknown host should fail or not. This value is only checked when the property knownHosts is set. | false | boolean |
| | *knownHostsResource* (common) | Sets the resource path for a known_hosts file | | String |
| | *timeout* (common) | Sets the timeout in milliseconds to wait in establishing the remote SSH server connection. Defaults to 30000 milliseconds. | 30000 | long |
| | *bridgeErrorHandler* (consumer) | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | boolean |
| | *pollCommand* (consumer) | Sets the command string to send to the remote SSH server during every poll cycle. Only works with camel-ssh component being used as a consumer, i.e. from(ssh://...) You may need to end your command with a newline, and that must be URL encoded %0A | | String |
| | *sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle* (consumer) | If the polling consumer did not poll any files, you can enable this option to send an empty message (no body) instead. | false | boolean |
| | *exceptionHandler* (consumer) | To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | | ExceptionHandler |
| | *exchangePattern* (consumer) | Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. | | ExchangePattern |
| | *pollStrategy* (consumer) | A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel. | | PollingConsumerPollStrategy |
| | *lazyStartProducer* (producer) | Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. | false | boolean |
| | *basicPropertyBinding* (advanced) | Whether the endpoint should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities | false | boolean |
| | *channelType* (advanced) | Sets the channel type to pass to the Channel as part of command execution. Defaults to exec. | exec | String |
| | *shellPrompt* (advanced) | Sets the shellPrompt to be dropped when response is read after command execution | | String |
| | *sleepForShellPrompt* (advanced) | Sets the sleep period in milliseconds to wait reading response from shell prompt. Defaults to 100 milliseconds. | 100 | long |

| | *backoffMultiplier* (scheduler) | To let the scheduled polling consumer backoff if there has been a number of subsequent idles/errors in a row. The multiplier is then the number of polls that will be skipped before the next actual attempt is happening again. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured. | | int |
| | *delay* (scheduler) | Milliseconds before the next poll. You can also specify time values using units, such as 60s (60 seconds), 5m30s (5 minutes and 30 seconds), and 1h (1 hour). | 500 | long |
| | *greedy* (scheduler) | If greedy is enabled, then the ScheduledPollConsumer will run immediately again, if the previous run polled 1 or more messages. | false | boolean |
| | *initialDelay* (scheduler) | Milliseconds before the first poll starts. You can also specify time values using units, such as 60s (60 seconds), 5m30s (5 minutes and 30 seconds), and 1h (1 hour). | 1000 | long |
| | *repeatCount* (scheduler) | Specifies a maximum limit of number of fires. So if you set it to 1, the scheduler will only fire once. If you set it to 5, it will only fire five times. A value of zero or negative means fire forever. | 0 | long |

| |
| == Usage as a Producer endpoint |
| |
| When the SSH Component is used as a Producer (`.to("ssh://...")`), it |
| will send the message body as the command to execute on the remote SSH |
| server. |
| |
| Here is an example of this within the XML DSL. Note that the command has |
| an XML encoded newline (`+ +`). |
| |
| [source,xml] |
| ---------------------------------------------- |
| <route id="camel-example-ssh-producer"> |
| <from uri="direct:exampleSshProducer"/> |
| <setBody> |
| <constant>features:list </constant> |
| </setBody> |
| <to uri="ssh://karaf:karaf@localhost:8101"/> |
| <log message="${body}"/> |
| </route> |
| ---------------------------------------------- |
| |
| == Authentication |
| |
| The SSH Component can authenticate against the remote SSH server using |
| one of two mechanisms: Public Key certificate or username/password. |
| Configuring how the SSH Component does authentication is based on how |
| and which options are set. |
| |
| 1. First, it will look to see if the `certResource` option has been |
| set, and if so, use it to locate the referenced Public Key certificate |
| and use that for authentication. |
| 2. If `certResource` is not set, it will look to see if a |
| `keyPairProvider` has been set, and if so, it will use that for |
| certificate based authentication. |
| 3. If neither `certResource` nor `keyPairProvider` are set, it will use |
| the `username` and `password` options for authentication. Even though the `username` |
| and `password` are provided in the endpoint configuration and headers set with |
| `SshConstants.USERNAME_HEADER` (`CamelSshUsername`) and |
| `SshConstants.PASSWORD_HEADER` (`CamelSshPassword`), the endpoint |
| configuration is surpassed and credentials set in the headers are used. |
| |
| The following route fragment shows an SSH polling consumer using a |
| certificate from the classpath. |
| |
| In the XML DSL, |
| |
| [source,xml] |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <route> |
| <from uri="ssh://scott@localhost:8101?certResource=classpath:test_rsa&useFixedDelay=true&delay=5000&pollCommand=features:list%0A"/> |
| <log message="${body}"/> |
| </route> |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| In the Java DSL, |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| from("ssh://scott@localhost:8101?certResource=classpath:test_rsa&useFixedDelay=true&delay=5000&pollCommand=features:list%0A") |
| .log("${body}"); |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| An example of using Public Key authentication is provided in |
| `examples/camel-example-ssh-security`. |
| |
| [[SSH-CertificateDependencies]] |
| Certificate Dependencies |
| |
| You will need to add some additional runtime dependencies if you use |
| certificate based authentication. You may need to use later versions depending what version |
| of Camel you are using. |
