SFTP Authenticate Secure

Demonstrates how to do SFTP password authentication with secure strings.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.

Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  Imagine we've previously saved our encrypted login and password within a JSON config file
    //  that contains this:

    //  {
    //    "ssh_login": "2+qylFfC56Ck7OQQt/U2/w==",
    //    "ssh_password": "5neIq9Jmn0E3p71N6Yc8TA=="
    //  }

    CkJsonObject json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.LoadFile("qa_data/passwords/ssh.json");

    CkCrypt2 crypt = new CkCrypt2();

    //  These are the encryption settings we previously used to encrypt the credentials within the JSON config file.
    crypt.put_CryptAlgorithm("aes");
    crypt.put_CipherMode("cbc");
    crypt.put_KeyLength(128);
    crypt.SetEncodedKey("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");
    crypt.SetEncodedIV("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");
    crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64");

    CkSecureString ssLogin = new CkSecureString();
    CkSecureString ssPassword = new CkSecureString();

    //  Decrypt to the secure string.  (the strings will still held in memory encrypted, but are now encrypted using
    //  a randomly generated session key.)
    crypt.DecryptSecureENC(json.stringOf("ssh_login"),ssLogin);
    crypt.DecryptSecureENC(json.stringOf("ssh_password"),ssPassword);

    CkSFtp sftp = new CkSFtp();

    success = sftp.Connect("MY-SSH-SERVER-DOMAIN-OR-IP",22);
    if (success != true) {
        System.out.println(sftp.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    //  Authenticate using secure strings
    success = sftp.AuthenticateSecPw(ssLogin,ssPassword);
    if (success != true) {
        System.out.println(sftp.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    System.out.println("SFTP Authentication successful.");

    sftp.Disconnect();
  }
