Re: passphrase on a RSA key with net::ssh::perl

You should be able to provide the password something like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SSH::Perl;

my $host = 'localhost';
my $user = 'user';
my @keyfile = ("/home/User/.ssh/id_rsa");

my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new(
               $host,
               debug => 1,
               identity_files => \@keyfile
);

Double check @keyfile as it might be different.

Hello Khen, Thanks for the prompt response. The above would work assuming the key ("/home/User/.ssh/id_rsa") did not have a password. i.e. if you entered a null password when ssh-keygen prompted for one. However my keys have explicit passwords set. Although the example above tells net::ssh::perl to use a key for authentication, it is still not automatically providing the password.	[reply]
