NAME

6       libssh2_userauth_password_ex - authenticate a session with username and
7       password
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <libssh2.h>
11
12       int libssh2_userauth_password_ex(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,  const  char
13       *username,  unsigned  int  username_len, const char *password, unsigned
14       int password_len, LIBSSH2_PASSWD_CHANGEREQ_FUNC((*passwd_change_cb)));
15
16       int  libssh2_userauth_password(LIBSSH2_SESSION  *session,  const   char
17       *username, const char *password);

DESCRIPTION

21       session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init(3)
22
23       username - Name of user to attempt plain password authentication for.
24
25       username_len - Length of username parameter.
26
27       password - Password to use for authenticating username.
28
29       password_len - Length of password parameter.
30
31       passwd_change_cb - If the host accepts authentication but requests that
32       the password be changed, this callback will be issued.  If no  callback
33       is  defined,  but  server required password change, authentication will
34       fail.
35
36       Attempt basic password authentication. Note that many SSH servers which
37       appear  to  support  ordinary  password authentication actually have it
38       disabled and use Keyboard Interactive authentication (routed via PAM or
39       another authentication backed) instead.

RETURN VALUE

43       Return   0  on  success  or  negative  on  failure.   It  returns  LIB‐
44       SSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN  when  it   would   otherwise   block.   While   LIB‐
45       SSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN  is  a negative number, it isn't really a failure per
46       se.
