Juan F. Codagnone commented on WAGONSSH-55:
-------------------------------------------
The server is sending "keyboard-interactive", not "password" or "key" so the
server could ask for a question different that the user/password
("PasswordAuthentication no" in sshd_config?). See WAGONSSH-13.
I think that the real solution would be to have an agent to store the
credentials.
> Although a password is given in the settings.xml for a scp url, a password
> prompt still appears

> Key: WAGONSSH-55
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGONSSH-55
> Project: wagon-ssh
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 1.0-alpha-7
> Environment: ssh client on Windows XP, ssh server on SUSE Linux
> Enterprise Server 10
> Reporter: Thomas Fischer
> Priority: Minor
>
> I want to deploy an artifact on a remote repository using scp (not scpexe) by
> issuing the command mvn deploy. In the settings.xml, I have specified an
> username and the correct password for the user, and I made sure that the
> settings file is read by maven. Still, wagon prompts me for a password when
> establishing the ssh connection for every ssh access (6 times for deploying a
> plugin). If I enter the correct password 6 times, deployment works but typing
> the password so often is very tedious.
> I tried to look into the code and although I am not familiar with ssh and
> jsch, it appears to me that the problem occurs if the ssh server sends back
> the authentication method should be "keyboard-interactive" (see jsch's
> Session.connect(int) method). Then Jsch does not use the provided password
> but tries to prompt it from console. This ends up in Wagon's
> UserInfoUIKeyboardInteractiveProxy.promptKeybordInteractive() method.
> If I replace the code in the method promptKeyboardInteractive, which was
> originally
> return interactive.promptKeyboardInteractive( destination, name,
> instruction, prompt, echo );
> by
> String[] result = new String[prompt.length];
> result[0] = userInfo.getPassword();
> return result;
> (which is a bad hack in my opinion), then the authentication works without
> having to type in the password. I did not dig deep enough into the wagon code
> to see if there is a clean way to solve this, but perhaps somebody else has
> an idea.
> I'd be happy to test any other solutions if it is difficult to reproduce the
> problem on another Linux Sytem.
