Some SSH servers have multiple password prompts (I don't like it, but I have to use it). Some do challenge response with number codes both ways. I would like the option to just SSH in to a host and type my own username, passcode, password, etc.

Hi, I'm not familiar with servers that do this; can you point me towards some of them so I can take a look and see what I can do?
(I guess the "Request Username"/"Request Password" is not sufficient, right?)

chinook.emsl.pnl.gov does this:

ssh deadbabe@chinook.emsl.pnl.gov
Linux for High Performance Computing 4.5 (Swift)

Enter PASSCODE:
Password:

So really I just need the ssh to connect and then let me type in things like PASSCODE and then the password. The PASSCODE is a SecurID one type password.

Very interesting; I see if I can recreate and what I can do to help in this scenario..

Thanks for the feedback,

I can see use in this also at times where operation similar to telnet -- user inputs everything based on server prompts after connection.

I would like to add that for security reasons, I do not want my passwords stored. Therefore, having a raw keyboard-interactive password would be preferable. Or at least allow a way to prompt at startup for the password. In order to comply with local rules, I need to create a profile, ssh, then edit the profile to remove the password each time. This is a real pain.

Hi drbrowen,

In the session editor, tap on "Advanced", then scroll down, you will see an option called "Request XXX Password" (XXX= VNC, SSH, etc depending on the session type). If you set this to ON, you will be prompted for the password every time you connect.

Hopefully this is what you need,

Raf.
