Keyboard-interactive callback not being called.

for (std::string authMethod : *authMethodsList) {
if (authMethod.compare("password") == 0) {
if (libssh2_userauth_password(mSshSession, usr, passwd)) {
authStatus = false;
}
else {
authStatus = true;
break;
}
}
else if (authMethod.compare("publickey") == 0) {
// TODO auth!!
}
else if (authMethod.compare("keyboard-interactive") == 0) {
// set the password in the session
//
char* localPass = _strdup(passwd);
void **sessionAbstract = libssh2_session_abstract(mSshSession);
*sessionAbstract = localPass;
if (libssh2_userauth_keyboard_interactive(mSshSession, usr, &kbd_callback))
{
authStatus = false;
free(localPass);
}
else {
authStatus = true;
free(localPass);
break;
}
}
}

Now there are two issues here :
1. While processing "password" method, the method sometimes fails with
authentication failure error. This happens when the same username password
works perfectly using other ssh clients.
2. Processing "keyboard-interactive" method, the response
callback(kbd_callback) passed to libssh2_userauth_keyboard_interactive() is
never called. The error message seen in this case is "Waiting for keyboard
USERAUTH response".
Can someone provide pointers as to how to resolve the above two issues?
Thanks in advance.
