Does anyone have a working example project where you use the Citrus Framework to act as an SSH client to connect to a real server to send a command and validate what it returns?

I've tried to follow the documentation and my project builds and attempts to connect but hangs up on what appears to be a user Prompt asking for the what user to connect with. I found a different SO topic that looks exactly like what I'm experiencing but I don't have the desire to modify or overload the framework's classes since I'm developing this to hand off to a different team and want to stick to the core classes for future compatibility.

Here's the topic that resembles my issue: Skipping Kerberos authentication prompts with JSch

I think it would work if Citrus just exposed a config parameter to turn this option on/off if needed. 

session.setConfig(
"PreferredAuthentications", 
"publickey,keyboard-interactive,password");

A working example would be very beneficial.

Here is a working example of a SSH client in Citrus 2.7.2.

I tested it with both SSH key authentication, and password authentication. The example shows the SSH key version. For the password-only authentication you need to substitute private-key-path and private-key-password with password="some_password".

citrus-context.xml

                       port="22"
                       private-key-path="${ssh.private.key.path}"
                       private-key-password="${ssh.private.key.password}"/>

</beans>
