[X2Go-User] Have x2go use Windows 10 default ssh-agent

[Johannes Töger]

Hi,

Windows 10 comes with an "OpenSSH Authentication Agent" that manages SSH keys. Once added, the SSH keys are kept in the Windows 10 Credential Storage and encrypted/decrypted with the user login. Documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_keymanagement

I was able to use this for ssh in WSL using this github repo: https://github.com/bahamas10/windows-bash-ssh-agent

Is it possible to have the Windows x2go client talk to the Windows 10 ssh-agent? I was able to do it using Pageant, but that is less convenient/integrated IMO.

By the way: Thanks for a great software package!
