SSHAuthMode Property
The authentication method to be used the component when performing an SSHLogon .
Syntax
public int getSSHAuthMode(); public void setSSHAuthMode(int SSHAuthMode);
Enumerated values: public final static int amNone = 0; public final static int amMultiFactor = 1; public final static int amPassword = 2; public final static int amPublicKey = 3; public final static int amKeyboardInteractive = 4; public final static int amGSSAPIWithMic = 5;
Remarks
The SSH Authentication specification (RFC 4252) specifies multiple methods by which a user can be authenticated by an SSH server. When a call is made to SSHLogon, the bean will connect to the SSH server and establish the security layer. After the connection has been secured, the client will send an authentication request to the SSHHost containing the SSHUser. The server will respond containing a list of methods by which that user may be authenticated.
The bean will attempt to authenticate the user by one of those methods based on the value of SSHAuthMode and other property values supplied by the user. Currently, the bean supports the following authentication methods:
| amNone (0) | No authentication will be performed. The current SSHUser value is ignored, and the connection will be logged in as anonymous. |
| amMultiFactor (1) | This method is not supported at this time. |
| amPassword (2) | The bean will use the values of SSHUser and SSHPassword to authenticate the user. |
| amPublicKey (3) | The bean will use the values of SSHUser and SSHCert to authenticate the user. SSHCert must have a private key available for this authentication method to succeed. |
| amKeyboardInteractive (4) | This method is not supported at this time. |
| amGSSAPIWithMic (5) | This allows the bean to attempt Kerberos authentication using the GSSAPI-WITH-MIC scheme. The client will try Kerberos authentication using the value of SSHUser (single sign-on), or if SSHPassword is specified as well, it will try Kerberos authentication with alternate credentials. This method is not supported at this time. |
Example (User/Password Auth):
Control.SSHAuthMode = PowerShellInside.PowerShellObjects.PsclientSSHAuthModes.amPassword Control.SSHUser = "username" Control.SSHPassword = "password" Control.SSHHost = "server" Control.SSHPort = 22 Control.Logon()Example (Public Key Auth):
Control.SSHAuthMode = PowerShellInside.PowerShellObjects.PsclientSSHAuthModes.amPublicKey; Control.SSHUser = "username" Control.SSHHost = "server" Control.SSHPort = 22; Control.SSHCert = New Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "cert.pfx", "certpassword", "*") Control.Logon()
Default Value
2
