post-login-banner not accepted

[tommarcoen]

Our company has a post-login-banner configured on the firewall for which you have to press 'a' to accept it and get a prompt. It is not accepted automatically but it's also not possible to manually accept the banner by doing a execute_command('a').

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

from pyFG import FortiOS
d = FortiOS('10.1.1.1', username='username', password='password')
d.open()
d.execute_command('a')

When I do ssh [email protected] 'a; get system status', I get the following output which seems to suggest then sending a` via SSH automation works as I do get a prompt.

POST WARNING:
This is a private computer system. Unauthorized access or use
is prohibited and subject to prosecution and/or disciplinary
action. All use of this system constitutes consent to
monitoring at all times and users are not entitled to any
expectation of privacy. If monitoring reveals possible evidence
of violation of criminal statutes, this evidence and any other
related information, including identification information about
the user, may be provided to law enforcement officials.
If monitoring reveals violations of security regulations or
unauthorized use, employees who violate security regulations or
make unauthorized use of this system are subject to appropriate
disciplinary action.




(Press 'a' to accept):

FWBIS001 #
FWBIS001 # 6694: Unknown action 0
Command fail. Return code -1

Moreover, I was able to remotely execute a command via cat commands.txt | ssh [email protected] where the commands.txt file contains two lines:

a
get system status

I think this means that pyFG somehow is sending the commands passed along with execute_command() wrongly to the SSH session.

I suggest you opening an issue in https://github.com/spotify/pyfg as there isn't much we can do here.

Closing the ticket, feel free to reopen if you feel there is something we could do.

[dbarrosop]

Now that I realized, try the following:

from pyFG import FortiOS
d = FortiOS('10.1.1.1', username='username', password='password')
d.open()
d.execute_command('a\n')

[tommarcoen]

Does not work either. But I suspect it should be something like this. Also a\r\n or a\n\r did not work.

[awlx]

Maybe this is obsolete in the future, I started a rewrite based on the official FortiOS API (https://github.com/fortinet-solutions-cse/fortiosapi) instead of screenscraping.

Let's see if I can pull all the needed stuff through API only.

[tommarcoen]

Hey awlx, any updates on that?
