Re^8: get ssh key passphrase from agent

This is weird - are you per chance using the ssh-agent and ssh that comes with Windows or are you using the OpenSSH binaries?

Mixing the two doesn't work and my attempts to mix the two always ended in tears...

I am currently using the ones, that come with windows, since the program must not be too hard to set up (it is going to be deployed to non-IT proficient users) Is there any way to utilise those, or do I have to install new ones? If the installation is unavoidable, could you please link a source for the OpenSSH Agent? Thanks in advance, Ninto.	[reply]

I'm not at a machine where I can try out Net::SSH2 currently, but in the evening I'll be at a machine where I can install/compile Net::SSH2, then I'll try out the various incantations and how they fail :)	[reply]

The main problem is that libssh supports Windows ssh-agent, but only in a recent version from 2021, while Strawberry Perl comes with OpenSSL 1.1.1i 8 Dec 2020. One possible solution is to replace the OpenSSL headers and binaries in `strawberry-perl-5.32.1.1-64bit-portable\c\include\openssl` and `strawberry-perl-5.32.1.1-64bit-portable\c\lib\openssl` with the more recent versions, and then reinstalling Net::SSH2. But I'm not sure what else breaks that way.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
