Store ssh passphrase for another session.

[Veera]

I have a set of ansible client servers accessible from ansible engine using ssh-key and passphrase.

When I run a ansible ad-hoc command , I have to enter passphase on each servers connections and this is repeating for all the tasks.

However from github search , find a way to reduce the enter the passphrase only one time by using the ssh-agent "eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" ; ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa" and by entering passphrase once .

When I exit the shell and re-login the I have to re-run and enter the commands and passphrase again .

How can I avoid this ? Is there a way to store the passphrase as like in ansible-vault and use it for login?

I would look into google on how to auto do ssh-add in your .vimrc file. I use oh my zsh and it auto adds it.
