[SOLVED] How can I get connection string on auth callbacks in SSH in golang?

Issue

My server config code is:

serverConfig := ssh.ServerConfig{
        PublicKeyCallback: func(c ssh.ConnMetadata, pubKey ssh.PublicKey) (*ssh.Permissions, error) {
        ...
    }
}

I start a ssh connection with something like ssh://user@host:port/path. How can I get path part of the ssh connection string in this callback or any other callbacks where I can check user's key/password?

Solution

SSH is not like http where you have ssh://user@host:port/path. The format is user@host:port indeed but it doesn't require the ssh:// and path constructs. In your question, PublicKeyCallback is using the public keys. If you are doing custom things, do it outside PublicKeyCallback.
