similar to: On Windows, launch ssh-add with a passphrase as parameter

Hello, I have the following problem. I have an application which is running and which has already request a passphrase to the user. This application needs to launch ssh agent and ssh add, but I do not want to be prompt again for the passphrase. My private key is of course encrypted with the passphrase. How can I do ? My only idea for the moment is to change the variable value of ask_passphrase

I just opened a bug report about this, but i thought i'd bring it to the group if anyone has any concerns about the idea: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1871 currently, ssh-askpass is used in some situations to actually ask the user for a passphrase. in other situations, it is used to prompt for simple confirmation (e.g. ControlMaster=ask, ssh-add -c). Providing the exact

The patch below does two things. 1. If invoked with no arguments, attempt to add both RSA and DSA keys. 2. Remember the last successful passphrase and attempt to use it on subsequent key files which are added. Note that the latter part of the patch extends the period of time during which the passphrase is held in clear text in the ssh-add process, but doesn't introduce any _new_

Enclosed is a patch against 2.2.0p1 that teaches ssh (and therefore slogin and scp) how to invoke ssh-askpass to request a password, RSA/DSA key passphrase, or an skey challenge response. I've tested this on Linux (i386), for passwords and RSA/DSA key passphrases. I cannot easily test whether the Right Thing will happen for skey challenge responses; I would appreciate it if someone who uses

Hello List, This is for the portable release. I wanted gnome-ssh-askpass to be a gtk+3 app, so I made a quick port.

There is an amusing bug in ssh-add that causes it to go into an infinite loop. I am using openssh 1.2.3, and noticed that when I ran "ssh-add < /dev/null" in my X startup scripts, but didn't have ssh-askpass installed, ssh-add started spewing errors into my .xsession-errors and didn't stop. I found that what happens is: ssh-add forks and attempts to exec ssh-askpass. The

Hi all, I have a script which calls ssh-add at a certain point, and I'm getting the following error: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory I don't see why it's doing this, since SSH_ASKPASS isn't set, and there should be a working terminal: SSH_ASKPASS If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the

Hi! I had some fight with ssh-add this morning that I have now tracked down to a change recently made. I run "ssh-add < /dev/null" to launch (x11-)ssh-askpass from the CDE startup. Unfortunately, no keys are added to ssh-agent! Reason: Between 2.2.0p1 (ssh-add.c 1.20) and now (ssh-add 1.22) the input reading from ssh-askpass was changed from read() to atomicio(). 91c120 <

OpenSSH Version 2.9p1 of "ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa < /dev/null" fails on the first try of using ssh-askpass before the window manager starts. The second try works. The error message on the first try is "Bad passphrase, try again". This did not occur using OpenSSH-2.5.2p2.tar.gz. I've tested this on both RHL6.2 and RHL7.1, both with all RH rpm updates applied.

Hello, With the introduction of SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE in version 8.4, I've set up a script for SSH_ASKPASS to query my local passwordstore (https://www.passwordstore.org/) vault to retrieve the password for a given key. This works for ssh-add as well as ssh (configured with AddKeysToAgent set to 'yes'). My workflow effectively transforms into entering the password for the GPG key used
