Method __init__ Undocumented
Method serviceStarted called when the service is active on the transport.

Method getPassword Return a Deferred that will be called back with a password. prompt is a string to display for the password, or None for a generic 'user@hostname's password: '.

Method _getPassword Prompt for a password using getpass.getpass.
Class Method _openTty Open /dev/tty as two streams one in read, one in write mode, and return them.
Class Method _replaceStdoutStdin Contextmanager that replaces stdout and stdin with /dev/tty and resets them when it is done.

Inherited from SSHUserAuthClient:

Instance Variable name the name of this service: 'ssh-userauth' (type: str)
Instance Variable preferredOrder a list of authentication methods that should be used first, in order of preference, if supported by the server (type: list)
Instance Variable user the name of the user to authenticate as (type: bytes)
Instance Variable instance the service to start after authentication has finished (type: service.SSHService)
Instance Variable authenticatedWith a list of strings of authentication methods we've tried (type: list of bytes)
Instance Variable triedPublicKeys a list of public key objects that we've tried to authenticate with (type: list of Key)
Instance Variable lastPublicKey the last public key object we've tried to authenticate with (type: Key)
Method askForAuth Send a MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST.
Method tryAuth Dispatch to an authentication method.
Method ssh_USERAUTH_SUCCESS We received a MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS. The server has accepted our authentication, so start the next service.
Method ssh_USERAUTH_FAILURE We received a MSG_USERAUTH_FAILURE. Payload:: string methods byte partial success
Method ssh_USERAUTH_PK_OK This message (number 60) can mean several different messages depending on the current authentication type. We dispatch to individual methods in order to handle this request.
Method ssh_USERAUTH_PK_OK_publickey This is MSG_USERAUTH_PK. Our public key is valid, so we create a signature and try to authenticate with it.
Method ssh_USERAUTH_PK_OK_password This is MSG_USERAUTH_PASSWD_CHANGEREQ. The password given has expired. We ask for an old password and a new password, then send both back to the server.
Method ssh_USERAUTH_PK_OK_keyboard_interactive This is MSG_USERAUTH_INFO_RESPONSE. The server has sent us the questions it wants us to answer, so we ask the user and sent the responses.
Method auth_publickey Try to authenticate with a public key. Ask the user for a public key; if the user has one, send the request to the server and return True. Otherwise, return False.
Method auth_password Try to authenticate with a password. Ask the user for a password. If the user will return a password, return True. Otherwise, return False.
Method auth_keyboard_interactive Try to authenticate with keyboard-interactive authentication. Send the request to the server and return True.
Method _ebAuth Generic callback for a failed authentication attempt. Respond by asking for the list of accepted methods (the 'none' method)
Method _cbUserauthFailure Undocumented
Method _cbSignedData Called back out of self.signData with the signed data. Send the authentication request with the signature.
Method _setOldPass Called back when we are choosing a new password. Simply store the old password for now.
Method _setNewPass Called back when we are choosing a new password. Get the old password and send the authentication message with both.
Method _cbGenericAnswers Called back when we are finished answering keyboard-interactive questions. Send the info back to the server in a MSG_USERAUTH_INFO_RESPONSE.
Method _cbGetPublicKey Undocumented
Method _cbPassword Called back when the user gives a password. Send the request to the server.
Method _cbSignData Called back when the private key is returned. Sign the data and return the signature.

Inherited from SSHService (via SSHUserAuthClient):

Method logPrefix Override this method to insert custom logging behavior. Its return value will be inserted in front of every line. It may be called more times than the number of output lines.
Method packetReceived called when we receive a packet on the transport
def __init__(self, user, options, *args): (source)
def serviceStarted(self): (source)

called when the service is active on the transport.

def serviceStopped(self): (source)

called when the service is stopped, either by the connection ending or by another service being started

def _setAgent(self, a): (source)
Undocumented
def _ebSetAgent(self, f): (source)
Undocumented
def _getPassword(self, prompt): (source)

Prompt for a password using getpass.getpass.

ParameterspromptWritten on tty to ask for the input. (type: str)
ReturnsThe input. (type: str)
def getPassword(self, prompt=None): (source)

Return a Deferred that will be called back with a password. prompt is a string to display for the password, or None for a generic 'user@hostname's password: '.

Returns (type: defer.Deferred)
def getPublicKey(self): (source)

Get a public key from the key agent if possible, otherwise look in the next configured identity file for one.

def signData(self, publicKey, signData): (source)

Extend the base signing behavior by using an SSH agent to sign the data, if one is available.

def getPrivateKey(self): (source)

Try to load the private key from the last used file identified by getPublicKey, potentially asking for the passphrase if the key is encrypted.

def getGenericAnswers(self, name, instruction, prompts): (source)

Returns a Deferred with the responses to the promopts.

ParametersnameThe name of the authentication currently in progress.
instructionDescribes what the authentication wants.
promptsA list of (prompt, echo) pairs, where prompt is a string to display and echo is a boolean indicating whether the user's response should be echoed as they type it.
@classmethod
def _openTty(cls): (source)

Open /dev/tty as two streams one in read, one in write mode, and return them.

ReturnsFile objects for reading and writing to /dev/tty, corresponding to standard input and standard output. (type: A tuple of io.TextIOWrapper on Python 3. A tuple of binary files on Python 2.)
@classmethod
@contextlib.contextmanager
def _replaceStdoutStdin(cls): (source)

Contextmanager that replaces stdout and stdin with /dev/tty and resets them when it is done.
