Getting SSH key support to work (macOS, version 8.6.0 beta)
I was interested to read the Blog post about the new SSH agent/key support, but, for the life of me, am apparently missing something obvious in getting it to actually work.
I have read through the...
floris_1P There are merits to both approaches. Per key would allow the most flexibility for those of us who like to keep a smaller number of vaults, but, if one has organised a larger number of vaults, then chances are per-vault opt-in for the 1P SSH agent functionality would be ideal. For me, personally, I can live with either. I'm still working out how best to use the functionality as I have many dozens of keys, and have avoided the "IdentitiesOnly/IdentifyFile" approach unless really necessary -- but the more keys in the agent, the more likely the limit-of-six for the sshd side of things becomes problematic.
For me, personally, I'd prefer the per-key opt-in, as it would allow the most granularity, and still afford the ability to group keys in vaults if they have something in common in my data organisation.
