Hello,

Thanks to your help, the server now requests a username and password for the authentication.
Once the password has been enterred, nothing happened on the client side. I'm even not able to escape from the client. I have to ctrl-c in the server console.
If I well understood the doc, for each state of the connection a method is called: telnet_User called when state = 'User', telnet_Password called when state = 'Password' and at the end telnet_Command (to be written by me).
I have added my "telnet_Command" method into my ITelnetProtocol implementation return by requestAvatar, but it is never called.
In the telnet_Password method, the deferred calls _cbLogin in case of good authentication or _ebLogin.
I could verify that _cbLogin is well called but it seems the application blocks in.

The method looks like this:
def _cbLogin(self, ial):
        interface, protocol, logout = ial
        assert interface is ITelnetProtocol
        self.protocol = protocol
        self.logout = logout
        self.state = 'Command'
        protocol.makeConnection(self.transport)
        self.transport.protocol = protocol

I almost sure this has to do with what requestAvatar returns in my Realm class:
class Realm:
    implements(portal.IRealm)

    def requestAvatar(self, avatarId, mind, *interfaces):
        if ITelnetProtocol in interfaces:
            av = MyTelnet()
            return ITelnetProtocol, av, lambda:None
        raise NotImplementedError("Only IProtocolUser interface is supported by this realm")

MyTelnet being a derived class of StatefulTelnetProtocol.

Is it what you explained in your previous reply?

I think I did all you said but I'm not able to get it work. Do you have another idea?
Thanks in advance.

Here is the log on the server:
