Folks-
I've used this scenario to great success:
1.) Create DSA public and private keys
2.) Put public key into authorized_keys file on target machine
3.) Run cmds from this machine onto target machine without
providing a password, following this template:
$ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($target, interactive=>0);
$ssh->login($user, ''); # Note null password
my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = ssh->cmd('date');
Now, I want the private key to be encrypted. This is easy to do:
$key->write_private($keyfile, $passphrase);
However, running the template will fail because the current Net::Perl::SSH
code is designed to only
get the passphrase via interaction with the user, and when
interactive=>0
interaction with the user is prevented, and authentication fails.
So, if I have an encrypted private key, and wish to supply the passphrase
without prompting the user (please avoid going into the security holes
behind this design, they've been taken care of) how can I supply the passphrase?
Unless I'm missing something, this cannot be done without a code change.
Off the top of my head, I'd suggest:
$ssh->login($user, $password, $passphrase);
Any help is appreciated!
