I will have to investigate.

Will update this topic with relevant data as soon as I have an update.

EDIT: We updated the crypto implementation in Unimus, and this should now work out-of-the-box.

Found the issue.
With 'ip ssh strong-crypto enabled', MikroTik accepts only AES-192 or higher for SSH session encryption algorithms.

By default, JRE (Java Runtime Environment) only ships with AES-128, due to 'import regulations in some countries'.

You need to install 'Java Cryptography Extension' into your system.
A quick Google search should give you the download link and instructions on how to install it :)
