(Unicode C++) SSH Auth Failure Reason (AuthenticatePwPk)

This example demonstrates how to determine the failure reason for the case where both a password and private key are required for authentication. If authentication fails, was it because of an invalid private key, or an invalid password?

Note: This example requires a feature introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.79

    // If we get here, it means the authentication failed.

    // This is a feature added in Chilkat v9.5.0.79

    json->put_EmitCompact(false);

    // This is the JSON if the key is correct, but the password is incorrect:

    // {

    //   "partialAuthResult": "publickey success. continue to authenticate with password...",
    //   "authResult": "failed",
    //   "authFailReason": "Password is incorrect"
    // }

    // This is the JSON if the key is incorrect.  We won't know if the password is also incorrect until
    // the key is made correct so that authentication proceeds to check the password.

    // {
    //   "public_key_type": "rsa",
    //   "authResult": "failed",
    //   "authFailReason": "Key is incorrect"
    // }

    // To get the authResult anbd authFailReason:
    wprintf(L"authResult: %s\n",json->stringOf(L"authResult"));
    wprintf(L"authFailReason: %s\n",json->stringOf(L"authFailReason"));

    delete json;
