To allow support of Linux / OSX SSH_AUTH_SOCK & Windows openssh agent pipe

[vlinx]

Both Linux and OSX use SSH_AUTH_SOCK

The name of the windows openssh agent pipe, default is: .\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent

(get-childitem \.\pipe).FullName | FindStr ssh
\.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent

The community has some complicated solutions, see below.

But they are very inconvenience.

WindTerm supports pageant agent pipe out of box

(get-childitem \.\pipe).FullName | FindStr page
\.\pipe\pageant.user_name.uniq_id

Session Setting -> SSH -> Authentication -> Attemp pageant authentication

Please add this feature to WimdTerm

Session Setting -> SSH -> Authentication -> Attemp ssh-agent authentication

[vlinx]

The similar feature got implemented in PuTTY-nd

https://sourceforge.net/p/putty-nd/feature-requests/42/

[vlinx]

1. Enable the ssh-agent service

Via Admin Powershell:

Set-Service ssh-agent -StartupType Automatic Start-Service ssh-agent

2. Now ssh-add works

ssh-add path/to/.ssh/id_rsa

Thank you for your suggestion. Fortunately, I have noticed that the new version of libssh 0.10.0 already supports this feature. I will fulfill this requirement when subsequent versions are upgraded to the new version of libssh. Please stay tuned.
