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 <CkSocket.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkSocket socket;

    success = socket.SshOpenTunnel("ssh.example.com",22);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << socket.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        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.
    const char *sshPassword = "mySshPassword";
    success = socket.SshAuthenticatePw("sshUser",sshPassword);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << socket.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "SSH authentication succeeded." << "\r\n";
    }
