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.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $socket = Chilkat2::Socket->new;

my $success = $socket->SshOpenTunnel('ssh.example.com', 22);
if (!$success) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

# Authenticate the SSH tunnel session with a login and password.
# The SSH password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
my $sshPassword = 'mySshPassword';
$success = $socket->SshAuthenticatePw('sshUser', $sshPassword);
if (!$success) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

print "SSH authentication succeeded.\n";
