(C# UWP/WinRT) Get SSH Server Authentication Methods

Demonstrates how to get the authentication methods of an SSH server.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

Chilkat Universal Windows Platform (UWP) / WinRT Downloads Chilkat for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Ssh ssh = new Chilkat.Ssh();

// To get the authentication methods offered by an SSH server, we first connect.
bool success = await ssh.ConnectAsync("example.com",22);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Next, we call GetAuthMethods to receive a comma separated list of authentication methods
string authMethods = await ssh.GetAuthMethodsAsync();
if (ssh.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// For example: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
Debug.WriteLine("Authentication methods suported by this serve: " + authMethods);

// IMPORTANT:
// Getting the authentication methods will intentionally disconnect from the server.
// We'll need to re-connect, etc. to continue..

// For example..
bool success = await ssh.ConnectAsync("example.com",22);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

success = await ssh.AuthenticatePwAsync("myLogin","myPassword");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("SSH Authentication successful.");

// ...

ssh.Disconnect();
