node-ssh-agent is a client binding to the SSH Agent protocol, written in "pure" node.js. For now, the operations supported are "list keys" and "sign data" (which in SSH parlance is `requestIdentities` and `sign`. ## Usage var SSHAgentClient = require('ssh-agent'); var client = new SSHAgentClient(); var data = new Buffer('Hello World'); // Try to sign data with an RSA key (will generate // an RSA-SHA1 signature). client.requestIdentities(function(err, keys) { var key = null; for (var i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) { if (keys[i].type === 'ssh-rsa') { key = keys[i]; break; } } if (!key) return; client.sign(key, data, function(err, signature) { console.log('Signature: ' + signature.signature); }); }); ## Installation npm install ssh-agent ## License MIT. ## Bugs See .
