Hey There!

Disclaimer: I am very new to perl

I am currently working on connecting Simpack to a high performance cluster, which is why I need to use pubkey authentication, but don'T have any way for use input.

I am aware of the other thread about this, but it did not prove helpful for me.

I managed to create a passphrase protected Keypair, add it to the windows ssh agent and got it working in cmd, but it doesn's seem to quite work in perl. I already tried Net::OpenSSH, but couldn't seem to get a connection with the server.

I am currently using Net::SSH::Perl. It works fine with non protected keys, but this is not an option because of the strict security policies in the company I am working for. Also, it needs to work on windows, since the clients who are gong to use this are all running on windows.

Please let me know, if you got any ideas to solve this!

Thanks in advance - ninto
