Description Antony Lee 2014-06-02 05:47:19 UTC

When an ssh-agent is running (with SSH_AGENT_PID and SSH_AUTH_SOCK properly set), kdialog --getopenurl could try using the agent when connecting to a network folder, avoiding a password prompt if the agent has cached the decrypted private key.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an ssh-agent and have it cache a decrypted private key.
2. Run "kdialog --getopenurl ." and select a network folder to which you could connect using the ssh key.
Actual Results:  
A password prompt appears.

Expected Results:  
Kdialog should use the information required for connection that is available via the ssh-agent.

Is this about sftp? fish?
This isn't a kdialog issue, the kioslave handles this.

If you can provide the information requested in comment #1, please add it.

This was about ssh access, but I have now switched to using sshfs, which completely obviates this problem (in fact I don't even remember how to access remote folders "directly" from kdialog).  Feel free to close it.

Thanks for the update; changing status.
