Get SSH Server Authentication Methods

See more SSH Examples

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

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

Go

    success := false

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

    ssh := chilkat.NewSsh()

    // To get the authentication methods offered by an SSH server, we first connect.
    success = ssh.Connect("example.com",22)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(ssh.LastErrorText())
        ssh.DisposeSsh()
        return
    }

    // Next, we call GetAuthMethods to receive a comma separated list of authentication methods
    authMethods := ssh.GetAuthMethods()
    if ssh.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(ssh.LastErrorText())
        ssh.DisposeSsh()
        return
    }

    // For example: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
    fmt.Println("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..
    success = ssh.Connect("example.com",22)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(ssh.LastErrorText())
        ssh.DisposeSsh()
        return
    }

    success = ssh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(ssh.LastErrorText())
        ssh.DisposeSsh()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("SSH Authentication successful.")

    // ...

    ssh.Disconnect()

    ssh.DisposeSsh()
