[Rebex SFTP] Unable to load shared library 'secur32.dll' or one of its dependencies

Question

Hi
I'm looking for a sftp client library which works under linux.
My infrastructure has a corporate http proxy with kerberos auth.
I wrote a small snippet for watching my remote sftp server directory.
Under Windows environment it works as expected.
Under Linux it raises exception of loading secur32.dll library.
How can i fix it ?

Unhandled exception. System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'secur32.dll' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable: libsecur32.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My snippet

    using var client = new Sftp
    {
        Proxy = new Proxy
        {
            AuthenticationMethod = ProxyAuthentication.Ntlm,
            Host = "my-corporate-proxy",
            LogWriter = new ConsoleLogWriter(LogLevel.Debug),
            Port = 8080,
            ProxyType = ProxyType.HttpConnect,
            Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
        }
    };

    await client.ConnectAsync("my-remote-sftp-server", 22);
    await client.LoginAsync("alex",
        new SshPrivateKey($"{Path.DirectorySeparatorChar}app{Path.DirectorySeparatorChar}id_rsa"));
    var list = await client.GetListAsync();
    foreach (var item in list) WriteLine(item.Name);
    await client.DisconnectAsync();

Hi,

Unfortunately, Kerberos authentication is currently only supported on Windows.

Comments

You misunderstood me kerberos auth to my corporate http proxy, not to sftp server.
Sftp server uses public key auth

Unfortunately, this applies to HTTP proxy layer as well. We only support Kerberos on Windows. (However, I see that in your code, you actually use NTLM instead of Kerberos, and that might work on Mono in Linux, but not on .NET Core or .NET 5.)
