Net::SSH::Perl::Auth::UserwContributed Perl DNet::SSH::Perl::Auth::Password(3)NAMENet::SSH::Perl::Auth::Password - Password authentication plugin
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SSH::Perl::Auth;
my $auth = Net::SSH::Perl::Auth->new('Password', $ssh);
print "Valid auth" if $auth->authenticate;
DESCRIPTIONNet::SSH::Perl::Auth::Password performs password authentication with a
remote sshd server. When you create a new password auth object, you
give it an $ssh object, which should contain an open connection to an
ssh daemon, as well as the data that the authentication module needs to
proceed.
The authenticate method will enter into a dialog with the server. For
password authentication, all that needs to be done is to send a
password (encrypted by the standard SSH encryption layer) to the
server, and wait for its response. If the $ssh object doesn't already
have a password that you've given it, Net::SSH::Perl::Auth::Password
will check to see if you're in an interactive session (see the docs for
Net::SSH::Perl), and if so will issue a prompt, asking you to enter
your password. If the session is not interactive (if it's in batch
mode), we send a blank password to comply with the protocol, but odds
are the authentication will then fail.
