Description
For our network devices, we use TACACS for network access authentication, which uses a custom password prompt to differentiate from logging in with a local account. In other words, here's the local password prompt:
===============================
TOS
===============================
Password:
and here's the network password prompt:
===============================
TOS
===============================
Ops password:
This can be supported if you update the following line in NewSessionBase.cs from:
if (prompt.Request.Contains("Password"))
to
if (prompt.Request.Contains("assword"))
I'm new to Github so I don't know what the protocol is, I didn't want to make the change myself, so I figured I would submit it as an issue and get your thoughts on it. Thanks!
