libssh2_agent_sign - sign data, with the help of ssh-agent
Contents
Availability
Added in libssh2 1.11.0
Description
agent - ssh-agent handle as returned by libssh2_agent_init(3)identity - Public key to authenticate with, as returned by libssh2_agent_get_identity(3)sig - A pointer to a buffer in which to place the signature. The caller is responsible for freeing the signature with LIBSSH2_FREE. s_len - A pointer to the length of the sig parameter. data - The data to sign. d_len - The length of the data parameter. method - A buffer indicating the signing method. This should match the string at the start of identity->blob. method_len - The length of the method parameter. Sign data using an ssh-agent. This function can be used in a callback registered with libssh2_session_callback_set2(3) using LIBSSH2_CALLBACK_AUTHAGENT_SIGN to sign an authentication challenge from a server. However, the client is responsible for implementing the code that calls this callback in response to a SSH2_AGENTC_SIGN_REQUEST message.
