SSH agent forwarding only seems to work when "Use SSH authentication agent" is also enabled
Hi
Using 2019.2.8.0, the key agent manager starts on application startup and prompts me for my passphrase for my ssh key - all good.
In previous RemoteDesktopManagerFree versions (5.1.3.0 for example) for SSH sessions I have used General -> Advanced -> "Allow SSH authentication agent forwarding" on its own. I was then able to ssh into our SSH gateway (using a different auth method) and from there (with "ForwardAgent yes" set in .ssh/config on the SSH gateway) I was able to ssh to other hosts using the authentication agent forwarded from RDMF.
This only seems to work now when I also select General -> Advanced - > "Use SSH authentication agent" - I don't want to use this option when connecting to the first host (SSH gateway.) Without this option selected, I am prompted for passphrase when ssh'ing from the SSH gateway to a second host.
I think the previous way of working is expected behaviour.
[angus@sshgateway ~]$ tail -1 .ssh/config
ForwardAgent yes
I hope this makes sense ...
