How to setup session profile for passing in a BLANK password?

I have a Device Session - that uses values from a Global Parameter file for the user/pass.

If needed, I can make the password NOT get its value from the Global Parameter file.

So far, I have been unsuccessful in trying to figure out how to make it work so that, during execution, it can log in with "root" and a blank password...

In the password field below, I have tried:

  • [param gateway/cavium/pass ""]
  • <left it blank below - thereby ignoring what is in the Parameter File>
  • Entered "\r\n" in Parameter file
  • Entered "\\r\\n" in Parameter file

What are my options in getting it to send in a BLANK password?!

SSH should support with password only, or you can use other authentication methods

When user login into the device, it sends requrest to SSH server to check property like PermitEmptyPasswords yes it will login into device, for that no need pass in the password filed in iTest  it will automatically login into device.

 

Hope this will help.

 

Thank

Hi,

 

Could you please let me know are you able to connect the device without using parameters in the session profile (by giving the SSH authentication details manually)?

 

Thanks,
