santy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I wanted to make the remote connection and automate the change password of any user account in that remote machine so I am using Perl Net::SSH:: Expect module. My connection is happening but I'm not able to perform any command on the remote machine. I am new to Perl language so there might be some mistakes in my code. I have tried searching for this but wasn't able to find something related to it. Initially, I tried using Net:: OpenSSH and Expect module in combination but wasn't able to achieve the use-case.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Net::OpenSSH; use Expect; use Net::SSH::Expect; my $uName= "user"; my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new ( host => "IPAddress", password=> "userPassword", user => $uName, raw_pty => 1 ); # logon to the SSH server using those credentials. my $login_output = $ssh->login(); if ($login_output !~ /Welcome/) { die "Login has failed. Login output was $login_output"; } #Random line display print "Connected to $uName\n"; #This is where I was trying the change password use case $ssh->send("passwd") or die "Cannot execute the passwd command: $!\n"; $ssh->waitfor("Changing password for user.\n (current) UNIX password: ", 3) or die "prompt 'password' not found aft +er 1 second"; $ssh->send("oldPassword\n"); $ssh->waitfor("\n Enter new UNIX password: " , 2) or die "prompt 'New password:' not fou +nd"; $ssh->send("newPassword"); $ssh->waitfor("\n Retype new UNIX password: ", 1) or die "prompt 'Confirm new password:' + not found"; $ssh->send("newPassword"); #$ssh->send("") or die "Cannot spawn: $!\n"; $ssh->close();
This the output i am getting
Cannot execute the passwd command
New Update
I tried executing a simple command just to check whether any command is getting executed or not. It is but still, my change password use case using send(passwd) is not.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; #use Net::OpenSSH; #use Expect; use Net::SSH::Expect; # # You can do SSH authentication with user-password or without it. # my $uName= "admin1"; # Making an ssh connection with user-password authentication # 1) construct the object my $ssh = Net::SSH::Expect->new ( host => "192.168.56.101", password=> "Passw0rd1", user => "admin1", raw_pty => 1 ); # 2) logon to the SSH server using those credentials. # test the login output to make sure we had success my $login_output = $ssh->login(); if ($login_output !~ /Welcome/) { die "Login has failed. Login output was $login_output"; } print "Connected to $uName\n";
This is the new simple command i am trying to execute
my $who = $ssh->exec("who"); print ($who);
My old use case with die removed from send()
$ssh->send("passwd"); $ssh->waitfor("Changing password for $uName.\n(current) UNIX password: + ", 2) or die "prompt 'password' not found after 2 second"; $ssh->send("Passw0rd1\n"); $ssh->waitfor("\nEnter new UNIX password: " , 2) or die "prompt 'New p +assword:' not found"; $ssh->send("qwerty123"); $ssh->waitfor("\nRetype new UNIX password: ", 1) or die "prompt 'Confi +rm new password:' not found"; $ssh->send("qwerty123"); $ssh->close();
Now the output is coming like this
admin3@admin3-VirtualBox:~/Desktop$ perl NetSSHExpect.pl Connected to admin1 admin1 :0 2019-07-19 11:49 (:0) admin1 pts/1 2019-07-19 12:41 (192.168.56.1) admin1@admin1-VirtualBox:~$ prompt 'password' not found after 2 second + at NetSSHExpect.pl line 36. admin3@admin3-VirtualBox:~/Desktop$
