How does your get_auth_method-Callback look like?

There you have to specify which authentication-method you want to use.
If you have copied your handler from the example (mybot.c), it is most
likely set to SILC_AUTH_NONE (the CONNECTION AUTH data len is four
bytes, which is exactly the size of an empty authentication payload).

It's not complicated, you get the proposed authentication method as an
argument to the callback (auth_method) you have to just pass it to the
completion-function, that's it (the client library uses then the private
key which you have supplied for signing). If you ever want to support
password-based authentication then you have to gather the password by
querying the user or reading it from a config file.

Hope that helps.

Best regards
Stefan
