(VB.NET 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.

Dim ssh As New Chilkat.Ssh

' To get the authentication methods offered by an SSH server, we first connect.
Dim success As Boolean = Await ssh.ConnectAsync("example.com",22)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Next, we call GetAuthMethods to receive a comma separated list of authentication methods
Dim authMethods As String = Await ssh.GetAuthMethodsAsync()
If (ssh.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' 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..
Dim success As Boolean = Await ssh.ConnectAsync("example.com",22)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

success = Await ssh.AuthenticatePwAsync("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(ssh.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("SSH Authentication successful.")

' ...

ssh.Disconnect()
