Using SSH client on Windows

[mevans...@gmail.com]

I can't find any documentation that covers using SSH clients on Windows.  I use cygwin (via git bash) with ssh client and not putty/pageant.  When I apply a terraform state I receive this error,

"* SSH agent requested but Pageant not running"

Why is it trying to use pageant? Is there a way to change this? I would really prefer not to use pageant if I can avoid it.  Please help.

As also replied on Github, you should be able to find some additional info here: https://www.terraform.io/docs/provisioners/connection.html

If you don’t want to use an agent, just set `agent = false` and you should be good. If you do want to use an agent, but one that is running inside cygwin I think you have hit a use case that currently is not supported. The easiest fix/workaround would be to install Pageant and load your keys in there as well.
