    • Method Detail

      • canAuthenticate

        public boolean canAuthenticate()
        Returns true if the bound connection is in a state where authentication can be tried using the supplied credentials.

        Subclasses can override this if they can tell whether it is possible to make an authentication attempt, default implementation is one-shot always.

        Overrides:
        canAuthenticate in class SSHAuthenticator<com.trilead.ssh2.Connection,​SSHUserPrivateKey>
        Returns:
        true if the bound connection is in a state where authentication can be tried using the supplied credentials.
      • doAuthenticate

        protected boolean doAuthenticate()
        SPI for authenticating the bound connection using the supplied credentials.

        As a guideline, authentication errors should be reported to SSHAuthenticator.getListener() before this method returns with false. This helps an user better understand what is tried and failing. Logging can be used in addition to this to capture further details. (in contrast, please avoid reporting a success to the listener to improve S/N ratio)

        Specified by:
        doAuthenticate in class SSHAuthenticator<com.trilead.ssh2.Connection,​SSHUserPrivateKey>
        Returns:
        true if and only if authentication was successful.
