CUE doesn't make backup to sftp server

pavelsh_ucs
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I'm trying to set backup for some cue.

It's cue 8.6.4 on ISM-SRE-300-K9.

I've made some test sftp server based on FreeBSD.

I tested how it works from FreeBSD console and by winscp.

It works fine

mgmt-u# sftp sftp@10.0.0.5

Password:

Connected to 10.0.0.5.

sftp> ls

sftp> exit

Then configured it on cue

cue(config)# backup server url sftp://10.0.0.5/usr/home/sftp/cue/cue username sftp password secret_here

Then pull ssl keys

cue(config)# backup server authenticate

The fingerprint of host 10.0.0.5 (key type ssh-rsa) is:

        bf:50:87:1c:eb:6c:1a:b3:69:f5:fd:1f:00:f6:ee:7a

Do you want to accept it? [confirm]y

Then tried to make backup I got Error.

When I check sftp server I see the error:

error: PAM: authentication error for sftp from 10.81.2.2

When I check trace on cue. I see

Backup & restore works fine on 8.6.4 using SFTP. From your CUE traces, I see the permission denied by the server.

2722 11/02 03:31:30.557 BackupRestore BackupRestore "in SysdbConfigInterfaceImpl" sftp: Permission denied

Can you please confirm if the password is configured correct and the server is not denying the request from the CUE?

I'm pretty sure about correct passwords.

I've just changed password. Then checked this password by my sftp client - works fine.

Then with sftp console utility - works fine

mgmt-u# passwd sftp

Changing local password for sftp

New Password:

Retype New Password:

mgmt-u# sftp sftp@10.0.0.5

Password:

Connected to 10.0.0.5.

sftp> quit

mgmt-u#

Then change sftp password in cue configuration, then backup server authen

Then next try and I got

cue-japan# show trace

MODULE           ENTITY          SETTING

BackupRestore    BackupRestore   0000001f

LOG NAME                         STATUS

atrace.log                       disabled

Press to exit...

Also checked sftp backup for cue 7.0.5, 7.0.6 (nm-cue, nme-cue). When I do backup server authen I get "

cue-swiss(config)# backup server authenticate
read error from ssh client

So it looks like sftp backup doesn't work at all.

I personally tested it on an ISM module running version 8.6.4. I could successfully take a backup and restore the same using SFTP, so I can say for sure that SFTP backup works fine. Make sure that there is no firewall blocking the access.

Hi Rajmohan,

What sftp server and server version are you using?

Thanks

OpenSSH_3.5p1 on redhat.

This just happened to me.

I have an STFP Server, which I reinstalled for whatever reasons and then the backup stopped working. The SFTP Server showed that the connection closed by the peer.

2014.02.03 08:59:04 -  Connection closed by [10.X.X.X [preauth]

It just occured to me that during the reinstallation of the SFTP client that the SSH keys for the server must of been recreated. I typed in "backup server authenticate" within the CUE CLI and I was prompted to accept the keys from my SFTP server. Now I have a working backup!!

I know this is an old post, just thought it might be helpful for someone out there as this posted helped me realise it was a problem with my SSH keys.
