macos / ssh-agent / 1password

[Robert-M-Muench]

I have a 1P SSH key agent set up, but CD always asks me for a password. I don't know how to tell or find out if CD uses the SSH agent at all. How do I configure a connection to retrieve the private key from 1P?

You will need to configure 1Password as an identity agent ¹ which is documented as interoperable with Cyberduck ².

I did that, but I'm still asked for a username/password. The agent doesn't seem to get queried.

When accessing the server via the CLI, the 1P agent is used and pops-up, and everything works.

You can make sure to authenticate with the correct identity retrieved from the SSH agent by selecting the public key in the bookmark configuration SSH Private Key or indicate it in the IdentityFile your OpenSSH ~/.ssh/config file ¹.

The problem was that the entered user name missed a character...🙄
