Hi there,
We have this "user prompt" with a ssh login e.g. cisco switch.

Therefore it would be good to have a "User prompt string" analogous to "Password promp string"

Thanks for RDM.

Hello,

I checked with our terminal expert and he said that for SSH, the username is an integral part of the protocol and we can't have a "user prompt string" the same way we have an option for the password.

What you could do though is configure a post-login command. From what I understand you could configure it this way:

The $USERNAME$ variable will send the value of the username you configured in the entry. The expected prompt in this case seems to be "User Name:" from your screenshot.

Let me know if this works for you!

Hi Hubert,
Thank you for your quick reply.
The $USERNAME$ variable now works as desired.
But now i still have the problem with the "Password prompt string". How do i pass the password here ?

Hello,

I simply wanted to update this thread as I just had a conversation on our live chat with StefanSa.

To configure the password in the same way Hubert described for the username, the $PASSWORD$ variable can be used. However, with password variables, there are a few additional requirements :

  • If you use a team data source, go to Administration > System Settings > Password Policy and make sure that "Allow password variables for all entries" is enabled
  • In the properties of the SSH session, go to the Security Settings section and make sure that "Allow Password in variable" is enabled
  • If your SSH session is linked to a credential entry, make sure for this entry as well that "Allow Password in variable" is enabled
