Known subclasses: twisted.conch.client.agent.SSHAgentClient

The client side of the SSH agent protocol. This is equivalent to ssh-add(1) and can be used with either ssh-agent(1) or the SSHAgentServer protocol, also in this package.

Method __init__ Undocumented
Method dataReceived Called whenever data is received.
Method sendRequest Undocumented
Method requestIdentities
Method addIdentity Add a private key blob to the agent's collection of keys.
Method signData Request that the agent sign the given data with the private key which corresponds to the public key given by blob. The private key should have been added to the agent already.
Method removeIdentity Remove the private key corresponding to the public key in blob from the running agent.
Method removeAllIdentities Remove all keys from the running agent.
Method _cbRequestIdentities Unpack a collection of identities into a list of tuples comprised of public key blobs and comments.
Method _cbSignData Undocumented

Inherited from BaseProtocol (via Protocol):

Method makeConnection Make a connection to a transport and a server.
Method connectionMade Called when a connection is made.

Inherited from BaseProtocol (via Protocol):

def __init__(self): (source)
Undocumented
def dataReceived(self, data): (source)

Called whenever data is received.

Use this method to translate to a higher-level message. Usually, some callback will be made upon the receipt of each complete protocol message.

Parametersdataa string of indeterminate length. Please keep in mind that you will probably need to buffer some data, as partial (or multiple) protocol messages may be received! I recommend that unit tests for protocols call through to this method with differing chunk sizes, down to one byte at a time.
def sendRequest(self, reqType, data): (source)
Undocumented
def requestIdentities(self): (source)
ReturnsA Deferred which will fire with a list of all keys found in the SSH agent. The list of keys is comprised of (public key blob, comment) tuples.
def _cbRequestIdentities(self, data): (source)

Unpack a collection of identities into a list of tuples comprised of public key blobs and comments.

def addIdentity(self, blob, comment=''): (source)

Add a private key blob to the agent's collection of keys.

def signData(self, blob, data): (source)

Request that the agent sign the given data with the private key which corresponds to the public key given by blob. The private key should have been added to the agent already.

ReturnsA Deferred which fires with a signature for given data created with the given key.
def _cbSignData(self, data): (source)
Undocumented
def removeIdentity(self, blob): (source)

Remove the private key corresponding to the public key in blob from the running agent.

def removeAllIdentities(self): (source)

Remove all keys from the running agent.
