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

$ssh = New-Object Chilkat.Ssh

# To get the authentication methods offered by an SSH server, we first connect.
$success = $ssh.Connect("example.com",22)
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($ssh.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Next, we call GetAuthMethods to receive a comma separated list of authentication methods
$authMethods = $ssh.GetAuthMethods()
if ($ssh.LastMethodSuccess -ne $true) {
    $($ssh.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# For example: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
$("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 -ne $true) {
    $($ssh.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$success = $ssh.AuthenticatePw("myLogin","myPassword")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($ssh.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$("SSH Authentication successful.")

# ...

$ssh.Disconnect()
