Paramiko – Bad Authentication Type [Cisco SG-300 Switch]
Question:
I use the configuration script over the ssh on the following link.The Script is not important, the important thing is that importing parmaiko module. But I added a link:
https://github.com/enessanal/NetConfPy/blob/master/netconf.py
And related piece of code:
import paramiko
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
try:
ssh.connect(hostname=host,port=port,username=username,password=password,timeout=timeout)
except Exception as exception:
print(str(exception))
The script run successfully all linux devices including old model HP switches except one device, Cisco SG-300 Switch. I think I understand the problem. The problem is about the Switch.
This type of switches behave differently. When trying a normal ssh connection with ssh command or through Putty, two authentication mechanisms occur. First one is "Login as" and the other one is "username". We interested in the second one. But the program (paramiko client) can not bypass "login as" part. And throw "Bad authentication type" Exception for every time.
How can I solve this problem? Or is there another method for automate configurations through ssh connection?

Thank you very much.
Answers:
The server (switch) does not support any SSH authentication methods:
DEB [20181204-11:25:18.940] thr=1 paramiko.transport: Authentication type (password) not permitted.
DEB [20181204-11:25:18.940] thr=1 paramiko.transport: Allowed methods: ['']
It actually uses simple I/O (Telnet-like) to prompt for credentials.
As you instructed Paramiko to use standard SSH password authentication (by providing a password to SSHClient.connect()), it fails.
Paramiko (contrary to ssh) does not support “none” authentication (or not directly).
Though this may work:
- Do not provide password to
SSHClient.connect()
SSHClient.connect() should fail with SSHException('No authentication methods available') – swallow that exception-
Now you are connected to the server, but not authenticated. To authenticate using “none” SSH authentication, call Transport.auth_none():
ssh.get_transport().auth_none(username)
Now you should be “authenticated”, as far as SSH is concerned. The same way, ssh believes it’s authenticated, even before you get any prompt for credentials:
debug1: Authentication succeeded (none).
Authenticated to 10.39.31.11 ([10.39.31.11]:22).

User Name:cisco
Password:************
Then, if you attempt to open “shell” using SSHClient.invoke_shell() (and maybe also if you attempt to execute a command using SSHClient.exec_command() – though I would assume that the server won’t support this interface), the server will prompt you for a username and a password using I/O.
Try to provide the credentials this way:
channel = ssh.invoke_shell()
channel.send(username + "n")
channel.send(password + "n")
(you may need to wait for prompts before feeding credentials [expect-like], if the server won’t accept them, when provided immediately).
Obligatory warning: Do not use AutoAddPolicy, unless you do not care about security. You are losing a protection against MITM attacks this way.
For a correct solution, see Paramiko "Unknown Server".
Add the following to your Cisco SG3XX config:
ip ssh password-auth
This will use SSH password authentication that paramiko expects, instead of using shell-based authentication.
I use the configuration script over the ssh on the following link.The Script is not important, the important thing is that importing parmaiko module. But I added a link:
https://github.com/enessanal/NetConfPy/blob/master/netconf.py
And related piece of code:
import paramiko
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
try:
ssh.connect(hostname=host,port=port,username=username,password=password,timeout=timeout)
except Exception as exception:
print(str(exception))
The script run successfully all linux devices including old model HP switches except one device, Cisco SG-300 Switch. I think I understand the problem. The problem is about the Switch.
This type of switches behave differently. When trying a normal ssh connection with ssh command or through Putty, two authentication mechanisms occur. First one is "Login as" and the other one is "username". We interested in the second one. But the program (paramiko client) can not bypass "login as" part.

Thank you very much.
The server (switch) does not support any SSH authentication methods:
DEB [20181204-11:25:18.940] thr=1 paramiko.transport: Authentication type (password) not permitted.
DEB [20181204-11:25:18.940] thr=1 paramiko.transport: Allowed methods: ['']
It actually uses simple I/O (Telnet-like) to prompt for credentials.
As you instructed Paramiko to use standard SSH password authentication (by providing a password to SSHClient.connect()), it fails.
Paramiko (contrary to ssh) does not support “none” authentication (or not directly).
Though this may work:
- Do not provide password to
SSHClient.connect() SSHClient.connect()should fail withSSHException('No authentication methods available')– swallow that exception-
Now you are connected to the server, but not authenticated. To authenticate using “none” SSH authentication, call
Transport.auth_none():ssh.get_transport().auth_none(username)
Now you should be “authenticated”, as far as SSH is concerned. The same way, ssh believes it’s authenticated, even before you get any prompt for credentials:
debug1: Authentication succeeded (none).
Authenticated to 10.39.31.11 ([10.39.31.11]:22).

Then, if you attempt to open “shell” using SSHClient.invoke_shell() (and maybe also if you attempt to execute a command using SSHClient.exec_command() – though I would assume that the server won’t support this interface), the server will prompt you for a username and a password using I/O.
Try to provide the credentials this way:
channel = ssh.invoke_shell()
channel.send(username + "n")
channel.send(password + "n")
(you may need to wait for prompts before feeding credentials [expect-like], if the server won’t accept them, when provided immediately).
Obligatory warning: Do not use AutoAddPolicy, unless you do not care about security. You are losing a protection against MITM attacks this way.
For a correct solution, see Paramiko "Unknown Server".
Add the following to your Cisco SG3XX config:
ip ssh password-auth
This will use SSH password authentication that paramiko expects, instead of using shell-based authentication.
