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.
Is it possible that Alex and you discuss two very separate things?
Alex's topic: By looking at the sources of X2goClient, there obviously
is an SSH agent implementation in X2goClient. BUT: that's for session
authentication.
Heiko's topic: What you are referrring to in your last sentence is
using X2go's reverse SSH port forwarding tunnel to access other
server's shares in the X2go client's sub-LAN? This currently is not
supported (and probably now wanted, either). Also: if the
implementation of such a feature became a future endeavour we would
have really to look at it very closely for considerations on security.
Greets, Mike
