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 { Socket } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  const socket = new Socket();

  try {
    await socket.sshOpenTunnelAsync('ssh.example.com', 22);
  } catch {
    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.
  const sshPassword = 'mySshPassword';
  try {
    await socket.sshAuthenticatePwAsync('sshUser', sshPassword);
  } catch {
    console.log(socket.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

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