Re: Two factor authentication?

[Brandon Whaley]

The Connection.__init__() constructor sets self.client to an instance of the paramiko SSHClient class, so you can alter it as needed after init.  Connections are not actually established until Connection.open() is called, which happens automatically when using Connection.run or other functions that require the connection to be open.  If all you need to do is pass some kwargs to paramiko.SSHClient.connect(), the connect_kwargs argument of Connection() is the place for these.  If you are having trouble, please show how you are connecting and what you see vs what you expect.

Hello,

I'm trying to use Fabric 2.7.1 to authenticate to a server that uses two factor authentication. From what I've seen, 2FA is possible in Paramiko (though I haven't tried this), but is it possible in Fabric? If it is, can someone point me to documentation or examples of how to do this?

Thanks!
