SSH Custom Prompts

Some devices directly use the password prompt supplied by their remote AAA server when performing authorization.

Forward Enterprise can be configured to correctly parse custom (non-default) prompts.

To configure custom prompts, navigate to Platform → Collectors → Organization collection settings → Advanced and list each prompt on a new line in the Password prompts field under SSH authentication.

A prompt will match if it includes the whole string (case doesn't matter). Exclude the ": " at the end — it is included automatically.
