The SSH Shell connection has no option (AFAIK) to allow agent forwarding. (Using pageant here for my keys)

Hello Hans,

Sorry for the delay. What version are you on? If you try out RDM 11.5.2.0 (the latest stable release) you should see the following in SSH Shell entries:



This works with our key agent (found in the tools section of the RDM ribbon) and it should work with Pageant. Could you try it out and see if it works in your case? Thank you.

that only allows for initial authentication. Agent forwarding ( '-A' with putty ) allows for key authentication within that session.

You're right, we will add this feature for the next minor update as another checkbox alongside "use agent" for "allow agent forwarding". Thank you! :)
