We are trying to connect to an IBM i from VS Code via CODE for i.
We want to use keys with passphrases, but are unable to do so.
We receive the following message:
Not connected to XXXXXXXXXX: Cannot parse privateKey: Encrypted private OpenSSH key detected, but no passphrase given
Our question: Is it not possible to log in via SSH and passphrase?
