Question:

SSH/SFTP Keyboard Interactive Authentication?

Oct 24 '12 at 14:13

You claim to have implemented keyboard interactive authentication, however I cannot figure out (nor find examples), how it should work - I can see only Authenticate methods requiring a password.


Answer

Keyboard authentication still involves a user typing a password to log in to the SSH account. Chilkat handles the keyboard authentication internally. The password is provided as an argument to the AuthenticatePw method, and if keyboard authentication is required by the server, then the Chilkat AuthenticatePw method internally does everything required to complete the authentication.
