Description:
------------
Hi,
unfortunately it is not possible to re-use a SSH connection for several log ins (authentications). This would be *very* useful because it takes ages to establish a ssh connection, so one could save a lot of time if it were possible to re-login via ssh2_auth_password().
Btw, the server hangs up if one tries to re-authenticate a second time.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$con = ssh2_connect("server");
ssh2_auth_password($con, 'username', 'secret');
ssh2_auth_password($con, 'username', 'secret');
echo "program will never reach this point";

Description:
------------

LibSSH2 0.18, PECL/ssh2 0.10

I could re-authenticate second time with following code:

Reproduce code:
---------------
$ssh2_host = '127.0.0.1';
$ssh2_user = 'volkan';

$con=ssh2_connect($ssh2_host, 22);

if ($con == false){
	die('conn err');
}

if (ssh2_auth_password($con, $ssh2_user, 'wrongpass'))
{
	echo 'Auth 1 SUCCESS'."\n";
} else{
	echo 'Auth 1 failed.';

	if (ssh2_auth_password($con, $ssh2_user, 'correctpass'))
	{
		echo 'Auth 2 SUCCESS'."\n";
	} else {
		echo 'Auth 2 failed.'."\n";
	}
}

OUTPUT:
-------
Auth 1 failed.
Auth 2 SUCCESS

The libssh2 library does not support re-authenticate.

I asked the libssh2 developers if this could be possible in the future. I doubt 
it though. I don't think it's possible to switch user with the ssh protocol.

Do you know of any other ssh client that does this?

As I expected: neither the libssh2 library or the ssh protocol support this.

It can't be done.
