As it isn't obvious how to drive Monotone on a Unix server with an RSA
private key loaded into Pageant (PuTTY's ssh-agent(1) variant) on a
Windows desktop, here are the required steps -- just for information and
for the record:
1. Generate the Monotone RSA private/public key pair
$ mtn genkey [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2. Export the Monotone RSA private key
$ mtn --key [EMAIL PROTECTED] \
ssh_agent_export example.evp-rsa.pem
3. Convert the exported RSA private key into the particular
format PuTTY's PuTTYgen tool is able to read:
$ openssl rsa -in example.evp-rsa.pem -out example.rsa.pem
4. Convert RSA private key from PEM to PuTTY Private Key (PPK) format:
- run "puttygen" under Windows
- select menu entry "Conversions" -> "Import key"
- load file "exampke.rsa.pem" (usually from your Samba share)
- set field "Key comment": "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
- set fields "Key passphrase" and "Confirm passphrase"
- press button "Save private key"
- save file "example.rsa.ppk"
5. Load "example.rsa.ppk" in PuTTY's Pageant -- Voila!
