UserAuthHandler Typedef

[C]

typedef bool (__cdecl* FlowSshC_UserAuthHandler)(
  void* handlerData,
  FlowSshC_FurtherAuth* furtherAuth,
  FlowSshC_PasswordChange* passwordChange);

Parameters

• handlerData: Data passed to the initiating call.
• furtherAuth: Pointer to a FurtherAuth.
• passwordChange: Pointer to a PasswordChange.

Return Value

When doing FurtherAuth: Return false to stop user authentication and disconnect.
When doing PasswordChange: Return false to abort password change and continue with user authentication (most likely raising FurtherAuth in the process).

Remarks

FurtherAuth and PasswordChange are always exclusive - one will be NULL.

FurtherAuth: Invoked if the server needs additional data, for instance a password or a keypair, to authenticate the user.
PasswordChange: If a password has expired, the server will usually request a new password from the user.
