NAME

       ksshaskpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using KDE

SYNOPSIS

       kdesshaskpass

DESCRIPTION

       kshaskpass  is  a  KDE-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not invoked
       directly.  It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming  that	an  X  display	is
       available).   This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the KDE startup programs,
       for example.

       In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, ksshaskpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.

NAME

     kwalletaskpass -- kwallet-based pass-phrase dialog for use with OpenSSH

SYNOPSIS

     kwalletaskpass [options] label

DESCRIPTION

     kwalletaskpass is a kwallet- and pinentry-based pass-phrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It is intended to be called from the ssh-add(1)
     programme and not invoked directly.

     If a passphrase is requested, kwalletaskpass works by first looking up the passphrase in the KWallet by means of kwalletcli(1); using it if
     found, then calling kwalletcli_getpin(1) to interactively retrieve an answer from the user via pinentry otherwise.  If the user specifies a
     passphrase, kwalletcli_getpin(1) is run again to ask if the passphrase should be stored in the KWallet.  Negative answers will be stored in
     the KWallet to avoid being asked each time.  kwalletaskpass uses the KWallet folders kwalletaskpass and kwalletaskpass-blacklist with match-
     ing entry names.

     If anything other than a key passphrase is requested, it is merely relayed to kwalletcli_getpin(1).  Some requests are known to require a
     boolean answer and are relayed using the boolean query flag; all others are relayed using a PIN query.  ssh(1) accepts either the literal
     word ``yes'' (case-insensitively matched) or an empty answer (both only when using the OK button) as confirmation.

     There are currently no options.

RETURN VALUES

     kwalletaskpass exits 0 on success, 1 if the user cancelled the dialogue, or >1 if an error occured.

ENVIRONMENT

     DISPLAY   The X11 display to use for child processes.  If this is unset or empty, kwalletcli will not be called.

     PINENTRY  The pinentry programme to use.  The default is inherited from kwalletcli_getpin(1).

AUTHORS

     kwalletaskpass was written by Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org> mostly for tarent GmbH.  The idea came from an askpass.C file found somewhere
     on the 'net, with no author information.  Since it was licenced less freely, this is a rewrite from scratch; modular and with more function-
     ality, too.
