Examples of com.trilead.ssh2.Connection.authenticateWithPassword()

com.trilead.ssh2.Connection.authenticateWithPassword()

After a successful connect, one has to authenticate oneself. This method sends username and password to the server.

If the authentication phase is complete, true will be returned. If the server does not accept the request (or if further authentication steps are needed), false is returned and one can retry either by using this or any other authentication method (use the getRemainingAuthMethods method to get a list of the remaining possible methods).

Note: if this method fails, then please double-check that it is actually offered by the server (use {@link #getRemainingAuthMethods(String) getRemainingAuthMethods()}.

Often, password authentication is disabled, but users are not aware of it. Many servers only offer "publickey" and "keyboard-interactive". However, even though "keyboard-interactive" *feels* like password authentication (e.g., when using the putty or openssh clients) it is *not* the same mechanism. @param user @param password @return if the connection is now authenticated. @throws IOException

            c = new Connection(host, port);
            c.connect();
            if(logger.isLoggable(Level.FINER)) {
                logger.finer("Checking connection...");
            }
            status = c.authenticateWithPassword(userName, password);
            if (status) {
                logger.finer("Successfully connected to " + userName + "@" + host + " using password authentication");
            }
        } catch(IOException ioe) {
            //logger.printExceptionStackTrace(ioe);

        
        //We open up a second connection for scp and exec. For some reason, a hang
        //is seen in MKS if we try to do everything using the same connection.
        Connection conn = new Connection(node, port);
        conn.connect();
        boolean ret = conn.authenticateWithPassword(userName, passwd);
        
        if (!ret) {
            throw new IOException("SSH password authentication failed for user " + userName + " on host " + node);
        }
        //initiate scp client

            c = new Connection(host, port);
            c.connect();
            if(logger.isLoggable(Level.FINER)) {
                logger.finer("Checking connection...");
            }
            status = c.authenticateWithPassword(userName, password);
            if (status) {
                logger.finer("Successfully connected to " + userName + "@" + host + " using password authentication");
            }
        } catch(IOException ioe) {
            //logger.printExceptionStackTrace(ioe);
