[PATCH 2/2] libssh2_transport: Add fallback authentication method for password auth

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When keyboard-interactive authentication is disabled on a host libvirt
fails when attempting authentication with password. This patch adds code
that simulates keyboard interactive authentication using "password" auth
method in libssh2.
