Robomongo: Add support for ssh-agent

[rspeed]

Kudos on the SSH support. There are a few holes in that support, though. The biggest hole is requiring the private key's password. Robomongo should support ssh-agent, as storing the password in plain text can be a significant security problem.

A stopgap measure would be to detect an encrypted private key and request the password before attempting to connect.

Hi @rspeed,

I agree that we are handling passphrases for private keys in a wrong way. Either SSH agent support or a stopgap measure with requesting password before connection should be implemented.

Thank you for pointing on this issue in our SSH support!

Any updates on this?

Without this feature its pretty much unsaleable when your private key is on a smartcard :/

We have folks who use Teleport ("modern ssh") who wish to tunnel their Robo 3T connections over tsh/teleport-based SSH connections. By far the easiest way to do this would be native ssh-agent support within Robo 3T.

Any updates on this feature, perhaps there is a newer issue?
