Re: BUG: Can't establish SSH tunnel with 3.6 - Mailing list pgadmin-support

Since updating to pgAdmin4 3.6 i can't use the SSH tunnel feature anymore.

As soon as i provide the password the following exception occurs:

After encoding the key (if it is a string) in
pgadmin4/web/pgadmin/utils/crypto.py everything works again like expected.
