AuthenticationPrompt Event

In This Topic

The event occurs when performing keyboard-interactive authentication.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Event AuthenticationPrompt As PgSqlAuthenticationPromptHandler

public event PgSqlAuthenticationPromptHandler AuthenticationPrompt

Event Data

The event handler receives an argument of type PgSqlAuthenticationPromptEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following PgSqlAuthenticationPromptEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.

Property	Description
Instruction	Gets the authentication instruction and additional information about authentication.
Name	Gets the name of the authentication method.
Prompts	Gets an array of prompts for the fields, that should be filled in the Responses array.
Responses	Gets the array of strings, which should be filled in the PgSqlConnection.AuthenticationPrompt event handler according to the Prompts array. Each Responds string corresponds to the Prompts string.

Remarks

Clients that want to process authentication requests sent by the server should create a PgSqlAuthenticationPromptHandler delegate to listen to this event. This event may be called several times during authentication process to request corresponding user information. The server sends a request concerning information that should be obtained from the user. The amount of requested information can be learned by defining the length of the Prompts array. Developer should provide an interface for the user to enter requested information. The received information should be written to the Responses array.

Example

This sample shows how performing keyboard-interactive authentication.

csharp

static void Main(string[] args) {
        MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection("host=mysql_host;port=3306;user id=mysql_user;password=mysql_password;");
        connection.Protocol = MySqlProtocol.Ssh;
        // sets ssh options
        connection.SshOptions.Host = "ssh_host";
        connection.SshOptions.Port = 22;
        connection.SshOptions.User = "ssh_user";
        connection.SshOptions.AuthenticationType = SshAuthenticationType.KeyboardInteractive;
        // Associate the AuthenticationPrompt event with your event handle
        connection.AuthenticationPrompt += new MySqlAuthenticationPromptHandler(connection_AuthenticationPrompt);

        connection.Open();
        Console.WriteLine(connection.State);

        connection.Close();
        Console.ReadKey();
}

static void connection_AuthenticationPrompt(object sender, MySqlAuthenticationPrompEventArgs e) {

        for (int i = 0; i < e.Prompts.Length; i++) {
                if (e.Prompts[i].Contains("Password"))
                        e.Responses[i] = "111111";
                else
                        if (e.Prompts[i].Contains("UserId"))
                        e.Responses[i] = "testUserId";
        }
}

Visual Basic

Sub Main()
        Dim connection As MySqlConnection = New MySqlConnection("host=mysql_host;port=3306;user id=mysql_user;password=mysql_password;")
        connection.Protocol = MySqlProtocol.Ssh
        ' sets ssh options
        connection.SshOptions.Host = "ssh_host"
        connection.SshOptions.Port = 22
        connection.SshOptions.User = "ssh_user"
        connection.SshOptions.AuthenticationType = SshAuthenticationType.KeyboardInteractive
        ' Associate the AuthenticationPrompt event with your event handle
        AddHandler connection.AuthenticationPrompt, AddressOf connection_AuthenticationPrompt

        connection.Open()
        Console.WriteLine(connection.State.ToString)

        connection.Close()
        Console.ReadKey()
End Sub

Sub connection_AuthenticationPrompt(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MySqlAuthenticationPrompEventArgs)

        For i As Integer = 0 To e.Prompts.Length - 1
                If e.Prompts(i).Contains("Password") Then
                        e.Responses(i) = "111111"
                ElseIf e.Prompts(i).Contains("UserId") Then
                        e.Responses(i) = "testUserId"
                End If
        Next
End Sub
