Net::SS...:AuthMgr(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Net::SSH::Perl::AuthMgr — the authentication manager/context situation for SSH-2, bestie ✨

(also this whole page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, so you know it's a community labor of love 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so like, here's the vibe:

use Net::SSH::Perl::AuthMgr;
my $amgr = Net::SSH::Perl::AuthMgr->new($ssh);
$amgr->authenticate;

that's it, that's the whole thing 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so Net::SSH::Perl::AuthMgr is out here managing authentication methods and the whole auth context for the SSH-2 authentication process. main character energy fr fr 👑

and the way it works? at its heart</> is a dispatch mechanism — it literally just sits there waiting for incoming packets and responds as necessary, based on a handler table that maps packet types to code references. like a little switchboard operator but make it SSH 🎀

okay bestie, real talk: you should never need to use AuthMgr directly, because it will be automatically invoked when you call login. it's giving backstage crew, not front-of-house. let it do its thing 🙈
