Authenticate an SSH Tunnel with a Password

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SshAuthenticatePw, which authenticates an SSH tunnel session using a login and password. Call SshOpenTunnel first.

#include <C_CkSocket.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkSocket socket;
    const char *sshPassword;

    success = FALSE;

    socket = CkSocket_Create();

    success = CkSocket_SshOpenTunnel(socket,"ssh.example.com",22);
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkSocket_lastErrorText(socket));
        CkSocket_Dispose(socket);
        return;
    }

    //  Authenticate the SSH tunnel session with a login and password.
    //  The SSH password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
    sshPassword = "mySshPassword";
    success = CkSocket_SshAuthenticatePw(socket,"sshUser",sshPassword);
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkSocket_lastErrorText(socket));
        CkSocket_Dispose(socket);
        return;
    }

    printf("SSH authentication succeeded.\n");


    CkSocket_Dispose(socket);
