Authenticate an SSH Tunnel with a Password

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

Background. Authenticate before opening forwarded channels. The password should come from a secure source and never be logged; public-key authentication is often preferred.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

var socket = new CkSocket();

success = socket.SshOpenTunnel("ssh.example.com",22);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    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.
var sshPassword = "mySshPassword";
success = socket.SshAuthenticatePw("sshUser",sshPassword);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("SSH authentication succeeded.");
