try different passwords

[rleon]

I have this script that works great to do different things

but lately there were some hosts that have old passwords .,. pass2 and pas3

I trying to add a simple way for it to try pass2 and pass3 if needed until it gets to
crt.Screen.WaitForString("]# ")

any advice / help is welcome.

# $language = "python"
# $interface = "1.0"

def main():
        crt.Screen.Synchronous = False
with open('/hosts') as hosts_:
        for host in hosts_:
                crt.Screen.WaitForString("working # ")
                crt.Screen.Send("ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no root@" + host + '\r')
                crt.Screen.WaitForString("word: ")
                crt.Screen.Send("pass1" + chr(13))

                crt.Screen.WaitForString("]# ")
                crt.Screen.Send("uname -a;df -h" + chr(13))
                crt.Screen.WaitForString("]# ")
                crt.Screen.Send("exit" + chr(13))

main()

Hi rleon,

We do not have a script example that shows exactly how to accomplish this.

You may be able to modify our "Jump Host - Handle Secondary Host Connection Attempts" script to try more than one password for each host. Please refer to the following link:

If time and resources becomes available we might be able to provide a specific example as to how you could accomplish this. We will be sure to post the example here if that is the case.

Have a great day!

Thank you i tried that

I replaced

With my promit

strJumpHostPrompt = "# "

And I get the error ..

ScriptError

Error: Connection lost

File: /Users/rleon/crt_scripts/nfs2/test2.py
Line: 44

        crt.Screen.WaitForString(strCommand + "\r\n")

If i can get this work it would be great .. but the only thing is i have 100's of hosts

Reading from a list would make this script ideal.

with open('/Users/rleon/hosts') as hosts_:
        for host in hosts_:

I took the script and stripped out some stuff made sure the indents were ok.

when i run it .. it doesnt fall into any of the if statements

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi rleon,

You have entered an infinite while loop, resulting in your SSH command being sent repeatedly.

We have modified the script example that I mentioned in my previous response to iterate over multiple usernames and passwords.

Please re-download and test with the modified script example:

Please let me know if you have any specific questions regarding the modified script.
