hi,
if you enable ssh agent forwarding (ssh option -A or ForwardAgent in
ssh_config) your agent connection is "forwarded" to the remote host.
this way you can use your ssh-agent (and smartcard in my case) to login
(or mount sshfs) to another host using your private key stored in you
local ssh-agent. this works with a socket created in
/tmp/ssh-<somerandomstring>/agent.<pid> on the ssh server/host.
if i use a current x2goclient this socket is not created and so i
cannot mount a directory from another host from within my x2gosession.

Hello Heiko,
I don't understand what do you mean with "ssh-agent forwarding". X2Go
Client supports login using ssh-agent and you can mount
sshfs-directories from client into your X2Go session using X2Go
Client.
Can you make it clear to me?
hi,
are there any plans to support ssh-agent forwarding?

Hi Oleksandr,
thanks for the info. i tried the new version and ssh-agent login
works great. but i've also hacked my patch yesterday to support
agent
forwarding. this way i can use sshfs to mount a remote directory
without password into my x2gosession.
this does not work with the new version. the changelog shows that
you
now use libssh. is it possible to add this feature? would be really
useful.
thanks
heiko

hi,
because no one cared about my request i tried to fix it by
myself.
attached is a patch which adds an --ssh-agent option to
x2goclient. if
x2goclient is called with this option it uses a running ssh-agent
to
connect to the x2goserver.
btw. i dont know anything about coding C++ nor anything about
x2goclient
development. so maybe this patch does break something else or may
be a
bad hack. however it works for me.
maybe the x2go devs could include it (or write a better one :))
in one
of the next releases? this would be great because i now have SSO
with my
usb token for all important tools. ssh-agent is started at logon
and
everything works without entering my passphrase again (ssh/scp,
sshfs,
nxclient, x2goclient etc.).

Hello Heiko,
there is a "Try auto login (ssh-agent or default ssh key)" option
in
preferences of a X2Go-session since x2goclient-3.01-14
