I am having open SFTP connection error [Exceptions.Types.DeliveryFailureException:Exceptions.Types.DeliveryFailureException ] from SFTP adapter in BizTalk 2013 R2.

This was working all good until there was an update on the SFTP server where certain MACs and KEX algorithms are restricted as part of the security updated and it allows only specific MACs and Kex Algorithms.

Is there a way to know or specify the MACs and Kex Algorithms with BizTalk 2013 R2 SFTP adapter.?

    Thank You KamleshKumar and ColinDijkgraaf.

    I did check with MS Support as well and they confirmed as below

    Biztalk 2013 R2 SFTP adapter only supports hmac-sha1, hmac-sha1-96 and hmac-md5 MACs and KEX algorithms

    Unfortunately there doesn't seem any documentation about what Ciphers the BizTalk adapter for BizTalk 2013 R2 supports, nor is there any way to configure them. I hit the same issue and wrote a blog about it BizTalk SFTP – Open SFTP connection error

    In summary you have the following choices

    • Revert the SFTP to old settings (quite often not possible of the SFTP server has been upgraded)
    • Use a third party SFTP adapter that support more modern ciphers.
    • Upgrade to BizTalk 2020 (which uses WinSCP, so then at least you know what it supports and you can test prior using the WinSCP client)
