change default_enter behavior for Aruba driver

In reference to “how to hit enter after a send_command #330” you offered a solution to respond to a router prompt. I am having an issue in changing a password, when manually performing this it prompts for a Password: and for you to re-enter the password as seen below. The solution that you offered did not work for me and after looking at the logs it looks to be sending the first password successfully but it it not reading the prompt for the second password.

Any code examples or solutions that you can provide would be amazing.

Manual Example:

(exampledevice1) (config) #mgmt-user admin root              
Password:********
Re-Type password:********

My Python Code:

net_connect.config_mode()

command = 'mgmt-user admin root'
aruba_pass = 'examplepassword'

configure4 = net_connect.send_command_timing(command)
        if 'Password:' in configure4:
            configure4 += net_connect.send_command_timing(aruba_pass)
        if 'password:' in configure4:
            configure4 += net_connect.send_command_timing(aruba_pass)

net_connect.exit_config_mode()

output2 = net_connect.save_config()

I have tried several different ways and it still wont work, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I literally just tried that and it worked. That was the solution, it took the command. Thank you so much for all of the help. For the sake of people like me here is the complete working code below:

@ktbyers Thanks again for all of the help!!! You are a great person!

[ktbyers]

You could try this:

    SSH_Device = {
        'device_type': 'aruba_os',
        'ip': ipaddress,
        'username': u,
        'password': p,
        'secret': p,
        'default_enter': '\r\n'
    }

And see if that makes any difference.
