System.console().readPassword() via SSH

I’m using System.console().readPassword() to read input from the console without echoing characters.  This works find on OpenJ9 on my Mac terminal and when using QSHELL in a 5250 terminal.  However when running via SSH to the IBMi it fails:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOError: java.io.IOException: Qyj9SetEcho failed
        at java.io.Console.readPassword(Console.java:328)
        at com.dpslink.scm.extend.Util.readLineFromConsole(Util.java:146)

        ... 3 more

IBMi Java being used:
java version "1.8.0_291"

OpenJ9   - c2bc063
OMR      - fa000e8
IBM      - 8165371)
JCL - 20210419_01 based on Oracle jdk8u291-b09

Is this a known limitation or a bug?  Google search came up with nil.
