6. Connecting to an Agent

Cette page resume la section correspondante du RFC 9987 et conserve les numeros, noms de messages et exigences de securite du protocole agent SSH.

Agents are exposed through a connection-oriented endpoint. Unix-like systems commonly use a filesystem-based Unix domain socket. Microsoft Windows commonly uses a Windows Named Pipe.

Endpoint access SHOULD be controlled as discussed in Section 10. The endpoint is commonly exposed through the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable, though implementations MAY use an implicit default per-user location.
