(PowerBuilder) 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 ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Ssh
integer li_Success
string ls_AuthMethods
integer li_Success

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

loo_Ssh = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Ssh" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Ssh.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Ssh")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Ssh
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// To get the authentication methods offered by an SSH server, we first connect.
li_Success = loo_Ssh.Connect("example.com",22)
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Ssh.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Ssh
    return
end if

// Next, we call GetAuthMethods to receive a comma separated list of authentication methods
ls_AuthMethods = loo_Ssh.GetAuthMethods()
if loo_Ssh.LastMethodSuccess <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Ssh.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Ssh
    return
end if

// For example: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
Write-Debug "Authentication methods suported by this serve: " + ls_AuthMethods

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

// For example..
li_Success = loo_Ssh.Connect("example.com",22)
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Ssh.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Ssh
    return
end if

li_Success = loo_Ssh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Ssh.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Ssh
    return
end if

Write-Debug "SSH Authentication successful."

// ...

loo_Ssh.Disconnect()
