[Trying to automatize ssh-add inside Keychain]

Hey there,

 

First i'd like to thank you for your awsome work, keep it up :D

I'm am currently trying to setup ssh-add automatization inside Keychain, so the user select his keyname and enter his passphrase then Keychain do its work. In order to do that my app feed to the user's data to the following script

#!/bin/bash
PASS="mypass"
install -m700 <(echo "echo $PASS") "/tmp/ps.sh"
[[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && export DISPLAY=:0
< ~/.ssh/id_rsaName SSH_ASKPASS="/tmp/ps.sh" ssh-add - >/dev/null 2>/dev/null && shred -n3 -uz  /tmp/ps.sh >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Wich I source in Keychain (v7.1 line 1460) by replacing

sshout=`ssh-add ${ssh_timeout} ${ssh_confirm} "$@" 2>&1`

by

. /tmp/auto-ssh-add

Then I just added

eval `keychain --eval --agents ssh ~/.ssh/id_rsaName`

in .bash_profile. It works like a charm, except I was planning to delete the script where the passphrase is written.

Do you see how I can use the beauty of Keychain and feed ssh-add user's information automatically only once?

 

Thanks in advance
