init Type

Synopsis

typedef void (*init)(void **method_context,
    SshAuthKbdIntSubMethods methods,
    SshKbdIntSubMethodConv conv,
    void *conv_context);

Description

The initialization function.

Arguments

method_context

Should be assigned to the pointer to the context allocated. Assigning something to method_context is mandatory. (This simplifies the main method's bookkeeping on what submethods have actually been initialized.) This context is passed to the free function.

methods

Should be stored by the submethod. It contains for example the SshServer structure and an SshUser structure that can be used in the authentication process by the submethod.

conv

The conversation function, called by the submethod when it has the requests. The prototype is described below.

conv_context

Should be given to the conv function.
