REG:Authentication failed for user in Robot framework

I want to use SSHLibrary to connect remote server.

*** Settings ***
Library  SSHLibrary

*** Test Cases ***
Connection
    ${RemoteServer}=    openconnection    127.0.0.1    port=2123
    login    127.0.0.1    gfi    
    ${username}=    Executecommand    pwd

But i am getting error as authentication failed

TRACE : Arguments: [ '127.0.0.1' | port=2123 ]
TRACE : Return: 1
INFO  : ${RemoteServer} = 1
TRACE : Arguments: [ '127.0.0.1' | 'gfi' | delay='0.5 seconds' ]

This is first time i am using SSHLibrary .Does it require any preconditions to use SSHLibrary. Can someone help how to solve authentication failed.

Solution

  • You have to take a look at the arguments for SSHLibrary - Login keyword.
    As seen in the documentation Login first argument is username.
    However, in your code you give 127.0.0.1 as username.
    login 127.0.0.1 gfi
    And I assume that is not the username.

    You can also see this in the log message, that it try to login 127.0.0.1:2123 as 127.0.0.1.
    INFO : Logging into '127.0.0.1:2123' as '127.0.0.1'.

    If you update the code and call login keyword with username and password as expected, it should run fine.
    login <username> <password>
