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.

<?php

$success = 0;

$socket = new COM("Chilkat.Socket");

$success = $socket->SshOpenTunnel('ssh.example.com',22);
if ($success == 0) {
    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.
$sshPassword = 'mySshPassword';
$success = $socket->SshAuthenticatePw('sshUser',$sshPassword);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'SSH authentication succeeded.' . "\n";
