Reuse in PowerShell a running PuTTY agent (pageant)

QUESTION

Reuse in PowerShell a running PuTTY agent (pageant)

Asked 2020-Aug-03 at 16:56

Is there a way in PS 5.1 to reuse the PuTTY agent keys?

Now, the details.

To use key agents one has an Agent that holds the keys (left box), and Client Applications that delegate administration of the keys (right box). E.g., client application C1=putty can use its own agent A1=pageant, of course. Client application C2=winscp knows how to use directly A1.

Certain Clients cannot use certain Agents directly, but there are Proxy agents that bridge the gap. For instance to use A1 with C3, I need Proxy P1=ssh-pageant, see example below. This helps centralizing in a single Agent the keys for many Clients. Now I mean to use A1 for all my Clients (currently, only missing A1-C5 and A1-C6).

Is there a way in PS 5.1 to reuse the same PuTTY agent keys? (I.e., a Proxy Px to use A1 with C5)

Possibly helpful: https://superuser.com/a/1173570/245595

NOTES:

I did not try it, but it seems like winssh-pageant is a Proxy to link A2 with Client applications that understand A1 directly.
I am currently trying to use in PS the same ssh-pageant from msys2 (it is a Windows program in the end, and often times they do work), manually replacing what eval does in msys2 (so far with no luck, but I think this is fixable):

I made this work, using the same Cygwin tools (i.e., both ssh-pageant and Cygwin OpenSSH client) in a PS session.

So I would do (assuming ssh-pageant is already running from Msys2):

As pointed out by bk2204, there is support for SHA-256/512 RSA signatures starting from pageant 0.71.

So I updated to putty 0.73 and the warning is gone.

JetBrains (IntelliJ, PhpStorm, WebStorm ...) private git repository with SSH key

Asked 2017-Mar-05 at 10:52

My New Web Server need authentication with RSA 2048 key.

I therefore generated a key, I placed the ir_rsa and id_rsa.pub files in my home folder ~/.ssh (Windows 10).

But When I use the cvs comment (for pull or push) I get an error :

The Error Log is (with built-in SSH executable) :

15:14:14.657: [MyProject] git -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin --progress --prune java.io.IOException: There was a problem while connecting to mywebhost.fr:22 at com.trilead.ssh2.Connection.connect(Connection.java:791) at com.trilead.ssh2.Connection.connect(Connection.java:577) at org.jetbrains.git4idea.ssh.SSHMain.start(SSHMain.java:171) at org.jetbrains.git4idea.ssh.SSHMain.main(SSHMain.java:137) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Key exchange was not finished, connection is closed. at com.trilead.ssh2.transport.KexManager.getOrWaitForConnectionInfo(KexManager.java:92) at com.trilead.ssh2.transport.TransportManager.getConnectionInfo(TransportManager.java:230) at com.trilead.ssh2.Connection.connect(Connection.java:743) ... 3 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot negotiate, proposals do not match. at com.trilead.ssh2.transport.KexManager.handleMessage(KexManager.java:413) at com.trilead.ssh2.transport.TransportManager.receiveLoop(TransportManager.java:754) at com.trilead.ssh2.transport.TransportManager$1.run(TransportManager.java:469) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

The Error Log is (with "Settings > Version Control > git > SSH Executable" to "native") :

15:13:50.031: [MyProject] git -c core.quotepath=false fetch origin --progress --prune Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

If I use the Git command in terminal the pull or push command works good :

What should I do to use PhpStorm's VCS buttons?

I tried to set Settings > Version Control > git > SSH Executable to "native" : Same problem
I tried to Install putty utility, run "Pageant" services and import my private key : Same problem
I tried to run ssh-add : Same problem

I tried to configure the ~/.config file: Same problem

My OS is Windows 10

IntelliJ built-in SSH executable does not support strong security keys at the moment: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-140196

Also, your keys are protected by a passphrase, that is why Native SSH does not work. IDE is not a terminal so cannot handle the prompt for a passphrase issued by the git

As a workaround, you could load the key to a ssh-agent, so executing git pull from the command prompt does not prompt you for a passphrase, and use Native SSH.

Install ssh-pageant

You can install the latest release of ssh-pageant for Cygwin using the standard setup.exe program. For MSYS2, just run pacman -S ssh-pageant.
Download the pre-built 32-bit or 64-bit release for Cygwin, or the 32-bit release for MSYS.
Just copy the exe into your PATH and ensure it is executable: $ cp ssh-pageant.exe /usr/bin/ $ chmod 755 /usr/bin/ssh-pageant.exe
Optionally, copy the manpage as well: $ cp ssh-pageant.1 /usr/share/man/man1/

Support

ssh-pageant is considered stable at this point and rarely needs to be updated. However, in case you encounter any issues, feel free to create one. Pull requests are even more welcome. :).
