Hello
I see RDM works good with OpenSSH Windows ssh-agent.exe from https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH package.
Please also support ssh-agent.exe by Cygwin (https://www.cygwin.com - run https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe and install openssh package) and/or Git for Windows (https://git-scm.com/download/win).
Thank you very much.
Hello,
Could you confirm whether you want to have the full agent capabilities in RDM (loading keys within that agent that are stored in RDM), or whether only supporting using the keys stored in an already running key agent running on Cygwin is good for your workflow?
I'm asking this because it's much more complex for us to do the former, as we're not sure whether we can properly send messages to the SSH agent running in a Cygwin environnment from a Win32 application.

Hello Hubert
I understand your points about the effort to make it work, but unfortunately yes, I asked for the former.
About communication, you could simply use ssh-add - (read key from stdin) to push keys to the agent, and let ssh-add do the hard work for you.
This would make it work for *any* ssh environment: cygwin, git for windows, mingw, ...
The only tricky part would be only to correctly set SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.
Hello,
We don't have direct access to the Cygwin terminal so it's not as simple as leveraging its existing commands, but we will see what we can do.
