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.

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

socket = chilkat.CkSocket()

success = socket.SshOpenTunnel("ssh.example.com",22)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 == False):
    print(socket.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("SSH authentication succeeded.")
