Which authentication method is tried by wodssh (General questions)

by Tushar, Wednesday, July 25, 2007, 20:10 (6331 days ago)

Hi,

I have a question about wodssh and SSH2 connection. If the SSH server supports both public key based authentication and password based authentication, then which of the authentication is tried first.

As far as I know it authentication method will be tried on the basis of what is specified in Authentication Property.

However I am facing a problem connecting to SSH server if I set the authentication to password based authentication on one particular machine. Otherwise there is no problem connecting to SSH server. I am not sure what is wrong with this particular device. I only get an error meessae as invalid username/password or private key.

If I try connecting to the same device using through putty I can connect to it easily.

Since the device is in private network I cannot give you the login credentials.

I was wondering if there is a minimum password length limit that wodssh expects for the password field?. The password I am trying is only 4 chars in length.

Thanks.

Tushar,

if you specify both publickey and password, then publickey is tried first.

When you use Putty, what do you use? Only password?

Minimum password length shouldn't be the issue if it works with putty.

Thank you very much for the rapid responses. I was a little nervous about dealing with a company that is on a different continent from me. You have proven my concerns to be unfounded.
