Description

mina ssh expects "password" in the prompt.  In UserAuthKeyboardInteractive, 

protected boolean useCurrentPassword(String password, String name, String instruction, String lang, String[] prompt, boolean[] echo) {
    int num = GenericUtils.length(prompt);
    if (num == 1 && password != null && !echo[0]) {
        String value = GenericUtils.trimToEmpty(prompt[0]).toLowerCase();
        int passPos = value.lastIndexOf("password");
        if (passPos < 0) {
            return false;
        } else {
            int sepPos = value.lastIndexOf(58);
            return sepPos > passPos;
        }
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

 

but the password prompt does not always contain "password".  On Cisco device, the prompt is configurable with

aaa authentication password-prompt passcode

As the result of this config, when logging into the box, the prompt is "passcode".

Is there a way to over-ride key-phrase "password" in prompt, for a ssh session?
