Authenticate from in-memory keypair

[jonhoo]

libssh2 has libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory, which allows you to authenticate a user using an in-memory keypair. It apparently only works when linking against OpenSSL, but given that we do that on cfg(unix), providing this method under #[cfg(unix)] seems like something we could do?

Sounds plausible to me!

Hi there,

I want to use libgit2's git_cred_ssh_key_memory_new. See this issue: https://github.com/alexcrichton/git2-rs/issues/320

I'm using the ssh2 crate in my app (in addition to git2). Yet I see this error:

this version of libgit2 was not built with ssh memory credentials

[alexcrichton]

@promethe42 it may mean that libgit2 didn't correctly detect libssh2 support or otherwise something different is missing? I'm not entirely sure :(

[JMLX42]

LibSSH2 has support for WinCNG.
When I remove the #[cfg(unix)] above userauth_pubkey_memory it builds fine.

I'll see if it also runs fine :)

Ok I tried to make it work on Windows but to no avail.

What I did instead to make SSH auth more seamless is to parse ~/.ssh/config. Grammar is here:

Can this issue be closed? It sounds like #80 resolved the original request. If there's something else left to do, can that be opened as a separate issue?

[jonhoo]

Yes, I think you're right that this is closed by #80!
