Support for other Key Agents, specifically Pageant

Support for other Key Agents, specifically Pageant

With the removal of PuTTY integration, we have lost a key capability. The Key Agent Manager is good for RDM, but my employer is now distributing signed keys that rotate daily. These keys are managed by using a modified version of Pageant. These keys must be used, local SSH keys and other authentication methods are disabled. As a result, the Key Agent Manager cannot be used as it is not modified to accept the rotated keys from the authentication systems.

Without support for key agents other than the built in manager, I will not be able to continue using RDM.

Is there any hope of having a Pageant option in the future?

Hello,

Our SSH terminal is based on PuTTY and it should support connecting to Pageant (and I assume your modified version of Pageant). As long as you check "use key agent" in the SSH entry, it should try to use either the RDM key agent (if started) or Pageant. Could you try it out?
