in thread Can't get $ssh2->check_hostkey to work

The SSH protocol provides two authentication methods, password and keyboard-interactive, accepting a user/password pair. They look the same to the user but under the hood are quite different and not interchangeable.

In your particular case, the server is accepting k-i,and you are trying to authenticate using password authentication.

    salva, I'm not BernieC, but when answering in another thread, I saw something, in this simplified SSCCE:

    #!/usr/bin/env perl # abbreviated version of https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1220377 use warnings; use strict; use Net::SSH2 ':all'; use Config; print STDERR "\n__DATA__\n\n"; print STDERR "\$] => $]\n"; print STDERR "$_ => $Config{$_}\n" for qw/archname osname osvers/; print STDERR "\n\nshell02.theworld.com:\n"; my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new(); my $rv = $ssh2->connect('shell02.theworld.com') or $ssh2->die_with_err +or; $rv = $ssh2->auth_list() or $ssh2->die_with_error; + print STDERR "\tauth_list => $rv\n"; $rv = $ssh2->auth_password_interact('dummyuser') or $ssh2->die_with_er +ror; print STDERR "\tauth_password_interact +=> $rv\n"; # this wouldn't work on my strawberry perl: "Non-blocking ReadLine + is not supported on this architecture" __DATA__ $] => 5.026002 archname => MSWin32-x64-multi-thread osname => MSWin32 osvers => 10.0.16299.371 shell02.theworld.com: auth_list => publickey,keyboard-interactive dummyuser's password? Non-blocking ReadLine is not supported on this a +rchitecture at C:/usr/local/apps/berrybrew/perls/5.26.2_64_PDL/perl/v +endor/lib/Net/SSH2.pm line 314.

    Do you know of a way to get auth_password_interact() to work with Strawberry Perl's version of ReadLine?
