I am running into a lot of issues where putty.ex/plink.exe would work on a server that had passwordauthentication no but because putty.exe/plink.exe supported Keyboard Interactive Authentication the user could still logon even though passwordauthentication was set to no.

So my feature request is to add "keyboard interactive" authentication, from what I gather it uses some form of challenge response that hashes the password and then allows connection even though passwordauthentication is set to no.

Thanks,

We are investigating this problem. It is possible that we will add this functionality in the next SecureBridge build.

Hi.

I wonder if the "keyboard interactive" authentication has been implemented in the meantime?

Maybe this is what you're looking for:

Hi Ruekaka.

Thanks for your replay, but I guess this is not what I am looking for

I am searching for a way to get rid of my "activate password authentication" workaround that is needed (or was needed in 2007) to connect via SSH.

Thanks anyway!

If I have understood right, to use authentication by password specify user's password in the TScSSHClient.Password property and specify atPassword value in the TScSSHClient.Authentication property.
To use the keyboard-interactive autentification set the TSSHClient.Autentification property to atKeyboardInteractive and process the TScSSHClient.AuthenticationPrompt event.
