I have no idea why my libssh program fails to connect to the localhost but it works fine for remote host.
ssh_session my_ssh_session = ssh_new();
ssh_options_set(my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_USER, "my_user_name");
ssh_options_set(my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_HOST, "localhost");
int rc = ssh_connect(my_ssh_session);
if(rc != SSH_OK) {
printf("Error connecting to the localhost\n");
exit(-1);
}
// Authorized by the password.
rc = ssh_userauth_password(my_ssh_session, "my_user_name", "my_password");
The program can successfully create the session but it always failed in the last line when I tried to get authenticated. The error message I got from ssh_userauth_password
is (Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive)
.
