similar to: SSH_ASKPASS behavior change proposal

I've been giving SSH_ASKPASS a hard look, and it's not clear to me how it's supposed to work. The documentation (ssh.1) seems explicit enough: SSH_ASKPASS If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute

Hi, I'm looking at integrating sftp into a larger project. It would be nice if there was a way to force read_passphrase() (in readpass.c) to use SSH_ASKPASS regardless of the properties of the terminal. This would be easy enough to do, an environment variable or a new flag definition would achieve this (I'm using an environment variable for convenience at the moment). Would anyone

Hi, I had developed a program which spawns a shell where i am trying to use ssh commands to log into a linux server. There is a pop up dialog window which is prompting me for key-ing the password. Actually i want to get rid of this pop up dialog box, as i don't want this to be visible in my program/code execution. Could you please let me know is there any way to resolve and stop this

Hi everybody, I have asked a question a long time ago regarding SSH_ASKPASS, but with the latest version of OpenSSH I am not able to get the desired result. My goal is to launch a script on a remote server via SSH without having to type a password, because it is locally executed from a script. This should not be too complicated, but somehow I am not able to figure this out myself. I have

Moin, attached is a patch, which adds a new configuration option "PreferAskpass" to the ssh config. ssh{,-add,-keygen,-agent} will use ssh-askpass to prompt for passwords, if this option is set to "yes", and if ssh-askpass is available. Default for "PreferAskpass" is "no". Pacth is against current CVS. Sebastian -- signature intentionally left blank.

I would like to use ssh-add to unlock a key with a password provided through a web interface. It seems even though ssh-add calls read_passphrase with RP_ALLOW_STDIN at ssh-add.c:173, stdin is not used as a last resort without a valid terminal or display. Is it an intended behaviour ? And if so, what are the security implications of using popen() to write the password to ssh-add (not using echo

Dear list, I have set up SSH with the SSH_ASKPASS and DISPLAY variable set. Everything works perfectly. When ssh is used without a tty, the askpass program is executed, providing the password. But when I change the location of the askpass program, so it contains a space in the absolute path name (for example "c:\My Documents\askpass") the askpass program cannot be found. I get a

The included patch adds a new option to the ssh client: -d fd Read the password from file descriptor fd. If you use 0 for fd, the passphrase will be read from stdin. This is basically the same as GPG:s parameter --passphrase-fd. Flames about why this is a bad idea goes into /dev/null. I really need to do this. There are lots of ugly Expect-hacks out there, but I want a more clean

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

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

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
