env.gateway doesn't honor the content of env.passwords

[mnencia]

The fabric.network.connect(user, host, port) function uses the function fabric.auth.get_password() to retrieve the password, and that function always return the password related to the current env.host_string.

This approach works with only one one level of connections, but when you use a env.gateway setting, the first connect host parameter will match the env.host_string content, so it will retrieve the wrong password.

Example:

from fabric.api import *

@task(default=True)
@hosts('user@host')
@with_settings(
    no_keys=True,
    gateway='gwuser@gwhost',
    passwords={
        'user@host':'pass',
        'gwuser@gwhost':'gwpass',
        }
)
def run():
    run('uname -n')

This will end to a try to log on 'gwuser@gwhost' using 'pass' as password instead of 'gwpass'.

Thanks for the report, I acknowledge the issue. Seems easy to fix by switching get/set_password to take explicit user/host/port arguments instead of relying on shared state. Testing that change now.

Fixed in d41e39b (forgot the pound sign in commit msg, oops). Please reopen if that didn't do it - I don't have any good password-friendly gateways to test on right now. Key-only auth for life! ;)

hey man, this fails again.

Fabric 1.10.2
Paramiko 1.15.2

my setting is that from local -> proxy -> host
and i need a password for proxy and after proxy the ssh_key from proxy would help to login.
but as my code below, fab first try to connect host directly :(

fabfile.py

from fabric.api import *

env.gateway = 'user_proxy@host_proxy'
env.hosts = ['user@host']

env.passwords = {
    'user_proxy@host_proxy': 'password_proxy',
    'user@host': 'pass'
}

def uptime():
    res = run('cat /proc/uptime')
    print res

run fab uptime

Hi, @yupbank, @bitprophet

In my case this will fix env.passwords

env.passwords = {
    ('user_proxy@host_proxy',): 'password_proxy',
    ('user@host',): 'pass'
}

Port seems to be needed after fix d41e39b.

env.passwords = {
'user_proxy@host_proxy:22': 'password_proxy',
'user@host:22': 'pass'
}

That works for me. It wouldn't work without the port. Cheers

How can I use .pem file instead of password in above case?
