�� �� �� ��¬ User Access Verification Username: �� �� ����'�� wildej Password: SW1_Core_BL#
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/cacti/plugins/routerconfigs/functions.php:704) in /var/www/cacti/plugins/routerconfigs/router-devices.php on line 274

How about "SSH port forwarding"?
ex.) # ssh -L 23:Router:22 Router

Code: Select all

 Server                                            Router
+---------------------------+                     +-------+
|                           |                     |       |
| +-------+           +-----+                     |       |
| | Cacti |-------->23| SSH |==================>22|       |
| +-------+ telnet    +-----+  SSH connection     |       |
|                           |                     |       |
+---------------------------+                     +-------+

If RouterConfigs accessed to the Server itself (=localhost) by using telnet,
then requests will be forwarded the Router via SSH connection.

Please test as follows on Cacti server. Perhaps like this (but not confirmed):

1) Make connection via SSH to router
# ssh -L 23:192.168.1.1:22 192.168.1.1
(for example, your router's IP address is 192.168.1.1)

If you logged in successfully, then open another terminal and perform this.
If failed, you can't login by SSH to router for some reason...

2) Connect with telnet (not SSH) to router via SSH tunnel
# telnet localhost 23

Access for local port 23 will be forwarded to port 22 of remote host (=router).
Configure RouterConfigs to be accessing localhost.

But I think that upgrading your RouterConfigs makes faster than this way...

As far as I looked plugin source, latest (v0.3-1) routerconfigs also has a feature for SSH connection.
(Sorry, I've not used this with ssh ever)

Please make sure whether if your PHP supports SSH2.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.ssh2.php

In brief, test as follows:

Code: Select all

% php -r 'echo (function_exists("ssh2_auth_password") ? "TRUE" : "FALSE");'

If PHP can use ssh, this plugin will work as follows (maybe):
1) first, routerconfigs will try ssh to target router
2) if failed, then telnet to same router

[sharekhan]

Maybe Cacti could be rewritten to support phpseclib, a pure PHP SSH implementation (phpseclib.sourceforge.net)? It's a ton more portable than SSH2 functionality requiring libssh2 since it has no dependencies and it's actually faster too:

http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/ ... mment_3759

phpseclib also has a superior API. Private keys have to be saved on the filesystem to be loaded whereas with phpseclib all they need be is strings. You can take a key from $_POST without having to dump it to the filesystem as libssh2 requires. To top it off, libssh2 requires you have a separate file for the publickey, which is brain dead, since the private key *contains* the public key.

ssh2_exec(), from libssh2, also returns ANSI color codes and sometimes never returns output and sometimes does (it's inconsistent).
