libssh2_agent_sign(3)

NAME
libssh2_agent_sign - sign data, with the help of ssh-agent

SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>

int
libssh2_agent_sign(LIBSSH2_AGENT *agent,
                   struct libssh2_agent_publickey *identity,
                   unsigned char **sig,
                   size_t *s_len,
                   const unsigned char *data,
                   size_t d_len,
                   const char *method,
                   unsigned int method_len);

DESCRIPTION
agent - ssh-agent handle as returned by libssh2_agent_init(3)

identity - Public key to authenticate with, as returned by libssh2_agent_get_identity(3)

sig - A pointer to a buffer in which to place the signature. The caller is responsible for freeing the signature with LIBSSH2_FREE.

s_len - A pointer to the length of the sig parameter.

data - The data to sign.

d_len - The length of the data parameter.

method - A buffer indicating the signing method. This should match the string at the start of identity->blob.

method_len - The length of the method parameter.

Sign data using an ssh-agent. This function can be used in a callback registered with libssh2_session_callback_set2(3) using LIBSSH2_CALLBACK_AUTHAGENT_SIGN to sign an authentication challenge from a server. However, the client is responsible for implementing the code that calls this callback in response to a SSH2_AGENTC_SIGN_REQUEST message.

RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 if succeeded, or a negative value for error.

AVAILABILITY
Added in libssh2 1.11.0
