.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIsession\fP - Session instance as returned by
.BR libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
\fIusername\fP - Name of user to attempt authentication for.
\fIusername_len\fP - Length of username parameter.
\fIpublickeydata\fP - Buffer containing the contents of a public key file. If
NULL, the public key will be extracted from the privatekeydata. When using
certificate authentication, this buffer should contain the public certificate
data.
\fIpublickeydata_len\fP - Length of public key data.
\fIprivatekeydata\fP - Buffer containing the contents of a private key file.
\fIprivatekeydata_len\fP - Length of private key data.
\fIpassphrase\fP - Passphrase to use when decoding private key file.
\fIsign_callback\fP - Callback to communicate with FIDO2 authenticator.
\fIabstract\fP - User-provided data to pass to callback.
Attempt FIDO2 authentication. using either the sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com or
sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com key exchange algorithms.
This function is only supported when libssh2 is backed by OpenSSL.
.SH CALLBACK DESCRIPTION
\fIsession\fP - Session instance as returned by
.BR libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
\fIsig_info\fP - Filled in by the callback with the signature and accompanying
information from the authenticator.
\fIdata\fP - The data to sign.
\fIdata_len\fP - The length of the data parameter.
\fIalgorithm\fP - The signing algorithm to use. Possible values are
LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_ED25519 and LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_ECDSA_256.
\fIflags\fP - A bitmask specifying options for the authenticator. When
LIBSSH2_SK_PRESENCE_REQUIRED is set, the authenticator requires a touch. When
LIBSSH2_SK_VERIFICATION_REQUIRED is set, the authenticator requires a PIN.
Many servers and authenticators do not work properly when
LIBSSH2_SK_PRESENCE_REQUIRED is not set.
\fIapplication\fP - A user-defined string to use as the RP name for the
authenticator. Usually "ssh:".
\fIkey_handle\fP - The key handle to use for the authenticator's allow list.
\fIhandle_len\fP - The length of the key_handle parameter.
\fIabstract\fP - User-defined data. When a PIN is required, use this to pass in
the PIN, or a function pointer to retrieve the PIN.
The \fIsign_callback\fP is responsible for communicating with the hardware
authenticator to generate a signature. On success, the signature information
must be placed in the `\fIsig_info\fP sig_info parameter and the callback must
return 0. On failure, it should return a negative number.
The fields of the LIBSSH2_SK_SIG_INFO are as follows.
\fIflags\fP - A bitmask specifying options for the authenticator. This should
be read from the authenticator and not merely copied from the flags parameter
to the callback.
\fIcounter\fP - A value returned from the authenticator.
\fIsig_r\fP - For Ed25519 signatures, this contains the entire signature, as
returned directly from the authenticator. For ECDSA signatures, this contains
the r component of the signature in a big-endian binary representation. For
both algorithms, use LIBSSH2_ALLOC to allocate memory. It will be freed by the
caller.
\fIsig_r_len\fP - The length of the sig_r parameter.
\fIsig_s\fP - For ECDSA signatures, this contains the s component of the
signature in a big-endian binary representation. Use LIBSSH2_ALLOC to allocate
memory. It will be freed by the caller. For Ed25519 signatures, set this to
NULL.
\fIsig_s_len\fP - The length of the sig_s parameter.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it is not really a failure per se.
.SH ERRORS
Some of the errors this function may return include:
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC\fP - An internal memory allocation call failed.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND\fP - Unable to send data on socket.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED\fP - failed, invalid username/key.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in libssh2 1.10.0
