Issue details

If OpenSSH on Windows is configured to use an agent other than the default, step ssh commands will not find the correct pipe to the ssh-agent

Why is this needed?

Alternate ssh-agents enable other software programs, such as pageant, PuTTY, WinSCP, and others to function with step ssh login on Windows.
