[paramiko] Problem connect to cisco asa devices

[Florian Koch]

hi @all,

I try to connect to a cisco asa, but I always get an paramiko.AuthenticationException.

Here is the code: (I have replaced the IP,User,Passwd with xxx in the code and tracebak)


	#!/usr/bin/env python 

	import paramiko 

	ssh = paramiko.SSHClient() 

	ssh.load_system_host_keys() 

	ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) 

	ssh.connect('xxx', 22, username='xxx', password='xxx') 

	stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command("show version") 

	data = stdout.read.splitlines() 

	for line in data: 
        	print line 


Here the Tracebak:

 	python test.py 
	Traceback (most recent call last): 
  	File "test.py", line 14, in <module> 
    	 ssh.connect('xxx', 22, username='xxx', password='xxx') 
  	File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/paramiko/client.py", line 327, in connect 
    	 self._auth(username, password, pkey, key_filenames, allow_agent, look_for_keys) 
  	File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/paramiko/client.py", line 481, in _auth 
    	 raise saved_exception 
	paramiko.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed.


If I try to connect via linux console and openssh with the same IP, Password and user, the connection works without problems.

Can anyone help?
