Are there plans to implement SSH agent forwarding?

Question

Hi,

are there any plans to add SSH agent forwarding to Rebex terminal/SSH client?
Without it, using this component for daily sysadmin work across multiple server is not a great experience.

(On that note, is there a public list of already requested features somewhere?)

Best regards

Hi,

This is already on our list of possible future improvements, but we are not yet sure when it's going to be implemented. Most likely not in a year or two, as demand for this is still somewhat low. If you already have a Rebex license, please let us know at support@rebex.net. There are lot of other enhancements we are considering as well, and we have to prioritize very carefully based on needs of our customers.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response.
I didn't realize this when I asked the question, but this is due to Rebex not supporting agent-based authentication in general, correct?

I do not personally have a license, but I'll ask if the developer of the program I am using (RoyalTS) wants to raise this as a request through the official channels.

Best regards
