feat: pass the client address and refused user to SFTP handshake errors - #296
A server built on sftp.Server gets SSHKeyExchangeError for every failed
handshake, and Logger.Error gets only the error. Its text names neither the
client address nor the user. When a client resets the connection after a
refused password, the error is a bare *net.OpError and the refusal is not
visible at all. A server cannot record a refused login, or tell it from a
dropped connection, from that error.
Context: miniohq/aistor#8879 (refused FTP and SFTP logins leave no audit entry,
API-log record or counter). This is a cross-repo reference, not a closing one.
Change
Logger.Error(SSHKeyExchangeError, err) now receives a *HandshakeError:
Addr: the remote address of the TCP connection (behind a TCP proxy, the
proxy's address).
User: the name the client sent with the last authentication attempt the
server decided. A none attempt that fails with ssh.ErrNoAuth offers no
credential and does not count.
Refused: true when the server refused that attempt, including when its
callback failed for another reason, such as an unreachable backend or a
client that hung up at a prompt. A partial success is not a refusal.
Err: the handshake error. Error() returns its text unchanged, and Unwrap returns it.
handleConnection hands ssh.NewServerConn a copy of the SSH config whose AuthLogCallback records the user and the verdict of each attempt. x/crypto
calls it with the final verdict of every method: after the source-address
check, after VerifiedPublicKeyCallback, for the key algorithm list, and for
the callbacks a PartialSuccessError installs. An AuthLogCallback the
caller set still runs, with the same arguments. One connection's callbacks run one after
another on its handshake goroutine, so the state needs no lock or map. The Logger interface and the callbacks' results do not change.
Known limit: a public key signature that fails verification ends the handshake
before x/crypto calls AuthLogCallback. User and Refused then describe the
last attempt the server decided before it, and Err holds the verification
error. When the forged signature comes first, User is empty and Refused is
false; the previous head reported the key's user there.
The package had no test file, so sftp/sftp_test.go is new.
Validation
Run on this branch (base minio/pkg main fb13bfe):
go test -race -tags kqueue -count=5 ./sftp: 100 of 100 test results passed
(TestHandshakeError with 18 subtests, and TestHandshakeErrorNilErr). A
run with -count=30 -cpu=1,4 also passed. go test -race -tags kqueue ./...: all packages passed.
The subtests cover a refused password, key and keyboard-interactive login;
two refused keys (one error); a refused then valid login (no error); a
refusal by the source-address check, by VerifiedPublicKeyCallback, by a
second factor after a partial success, by the key algorithm list, and by a NoClientAuthCallback; a wrapped PartialSuccessError (a refusal, as in
x/crypto); a client that hangs up at a prompt (refused); a partial success
the client abandons (not refused); a forged signature; a client with no credential;
the exact calls a caller's AuthLogCallback receives; connect and close
(with Addr); and a protocol failure.
Against the previous head (8bcdd39), 6 of these subtests fail.
Mutation checks, 12 of 12 caught, among them: a wrapped partial success
treated as partial, a partial success counted as a refusal, five ways of
calling the caller's AuthLogCallback wrongly (dropped, only for none,
twice, skipping none, with a nil error), none always or never skipped, User not recorded, a hang-up exempted from refusal, and Addr set to the
local address.
make lint: 0 issues. gofumpt, go vet -tags kqueue ./sftp and typos:
clean. go build ./... on the branch merged into main: ok.
End to end, an aistor build at 72219f422 with a replace to this branch
and a print of the HandshakeError fields: refused password (known and
unknown user) and refused key gave one error with refused=true and the
user, on 3 of 3 runs each. Valid logins, including two refused keys then a
valid password, gave none. Connect and close gave refused=false with no
user. The previous head gave the same results on these six cases. Cases
that differ from the previous head, such as a forged signature or a refused
key algorithm, ran only in the unit tests.
CodeRabbit local deep review: 0 findings.
Not run: a client with keyboard-interactive or GSSAPI against a real aistor
server.
Compatibility
Error() returns the same text as before. A logger that prints the error's
type now sees *sftp.HandshakeError; aistor's logger prints %v (%T), so
that suffix changes. A logger that type-asserts the error as *net.OpError or
compares it with == no longer matches, and should use errors.As or errors.Is.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
SFTP handshake errors now include the remote address and, when available, the most recently offered username and whether its credentials were rejected.
Errors distinguish authentication refusals from other handshake failures, such as a closed connection or malformed input.
Handshake errors retain access to the underlying error for additional context.
Partial authentication success is not classified as a refusal, and existing authentication logging continues to work.
Logger.Error with SSHKeyExchangeError gets a *HandshakeError that names the
remote address, the user and whether an authentication callback refused the
last credential. The error text is unchanged and Unwrap returns the handshake
error. A server cannot tell a refused login from a dropped connection, or
which client it came from, without this.
The callbacks of one connection run one after another, so the per-connection
state needs no lock. The package had no test file, so sftp_test.go is new.
The SFTP server tracks authentication results for each SSH connection. When a handshake fails, it logs a HandshakeError with the remote address, recorded username and refusal status, and underlying error.
Changes: SSH Handshake Error Reporting
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Authentication tracking and error type sftp/sftp.go
A per-connection SSH configuration wraps the authentication log callback. It records usernames and refusal status, while preserving any configured callback. HandshakeError exposes the remote address, username, refusal status, and underlying error.
Handshake error reporting and tests sftp/sftp.go, sftp/sftp_test.go
handleConnection logs a HandshakeError when the handshake fails. Tests cover authentication methods and retries, partial success, connection and protocol failures, callback reporting, and error wrapping.

HandshakeError.Refused was set by wrapping the password, public key and
keyboard-interactive callbacks. x/crypto decides a login after those
callbacks in places they cannot see: the source-address check on the
permissions a callback accepted, VerifiedPublicKeyCallback, the key
algorithm list, a NoClientAuthCallback, and the callbacks a
PartialSuccessError installs. Each of those refusals was reported as
Refused=false, and a partial success was reported as a refusal.
Record the user and verdict from ServerConfig.AuthLogCallback, which
x/crypto calls with the final result of every attempt, and still call an
AuthLogCallback the caller set. Skip a "none" attempt only when it fails
with ErrNoAuth, since it offers no credential. Treat only an unwrapped
PartialSuccessError as a partial success, as x/crypto does.
A signature that fails verification ends the handshake before
AuthLogCallback runs, so User and Refused then describe the last attempt
the server decided before it; the field doc says so.
The new subtests go into the existing sftp/sftp_test.go.

I fixed the request to record results from PartialSuccessError.Next callbacks in commit f987468. The change in sftp/sftp.go connConfig stopped wrapping PasswordCallback and takes the refused verdict from AuthLogCallback, which the server calls for every attempt including those from Next callbacks. The subtest TestHandshakeError/refused-second-factor in sftp/sftp_test.go pins this and passes, and it fails when I force Refused to false. I have re-requested your review.

A server built on
sftp.ServergetsSSHKeyExchangeErrorfor every failedhandshake, and
Logger.Errorgets only the error. Its text names neither theclient address nor the user. When a client resets the connection after a

*net.OpErrorand the refusal is notvisible at all. A server cannot record a refused login, or tell it from a

Change
Logger.Error(SSHKeyExchangeError, err)now receives a*HandshakeError:Addr: the remote address of the TCP connection (behind a TCP proxy, theproxy's address).
User: the name the client sent with the last authentication attempt theserver decided. A
noneattempt that fails withssh.ErrNoAuthoffers nocredential and does not count.
Refused: true when the server refused that attempt, including when itscallback failed for another reason, such as an unreachable backend or a
