Key management for Secure Shell
Authentication agent Pageant
PuTTY's authentication agent Pageant
and, as required, generates signatures or deals with the authentication procedure. At the
beginning of a Windows session you start Pageant. If you then click on the Pageant icon
with the right mouse button a menu opens. By selecting View Keys you open the main
window of Pageant which contains a list box with all the private keys currently offered by
Pageant.
To add a key to Pageant click on the Add Key button. Pageant then opens the Select Private
Key File dialog box. In this dialog box select the file that belongs to your private key and click
on Open.
Pageant then loads the private key into the memory. If the key is protected by a pass phrase
Pageant requests this. As soon as the key is loaded it appears in the list box of the Pageant
main window.
You can now start PuTTY and open an SSH connection to a system which accepts your key.
PuTTY recognizes that Pageant is running, fetches the key automatically from Pageant, and
uses it for authentication. You can now open further PuTTY connections without having to
type in the pass phrase each time.
