Hello All, I've been trying to write a Windows script that will log into a Cisco ASA using SSH2, run an escalated command, and return the results but, I've run into a wall. When trying to initiate the connection with the ASA it always fails in the same spot.
Here is the debug from the Perl script showing where it fails: HOST: Trying password authentication. HOST: Login completed, opening dummy shell channel. HOST: channel 0: new [client-session] HOST: Requesting channel_open for channel 0. HOST: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 1024 rmax 4096 HOST: Got channel open confirmation, requesting shell. HOST: Requesting service shell on channel 0. HOST: channel 1: new [client-session] HOST: Requesting channel_open for channel 1. HOST: Entering interactive session. HOST: Channel open failure: 1: reason 4: Here is the debug from the ASA: SSH2 0: authentication successful for user SSH2 0: channel open request SSH2 0: shell request SSH2 0: shell message receivedSSH0: receive SSH message: [no message ID: variable *data is NULL] SSH0: Session disconnected by SSH server - error 0x00 "Internal error" I've tried contacting Cisco about this and they asked me if I could SSH using PuTTY, which I can, then said they don't provide support for scripting. From researching online, I think the issue here is that Net- SSH-Perl is compatible with OpenSSH and Cisco has their own SSH implementation. This is where I'm looking for your help. Has anyone successfully used Net::SSH::Perl to connect with Cisco devices? If so, did you run into any problems or have to implement a workaround? Or to take this in a different direction, what language/package/wrapper would you recommend to do this? Also, telnet is not an option here. I can post the script if you'd like but it doesn't try to do anything special. I appreciate your time and efforts.
