PKCS#11 support in Xshell/Xagent [14]

Hi,

Currently there is public-key support in Xshell/Xagent.

I was wondering if PKCS#11 support was planned for a future releases. Such support would allow user keys to be stored securely on a smartcard.

This functionnality can be found in some competiting products, so I was wondering about your plans on crypto tokens integration.

Best regards

Program Ver. : Xshell 3.0

Thank you for your feature request. We are now looking into this feture and will consider adding it to our future releases.

Did you know that Xshell and Xftp are free for home and school use? To find out more, please click here.

I would also like PKCS11 support. This is critical for my use of SSH clients.

Thanks!

+1 for smartcard support.

I use a Yubikey to store my keys, with a subkey used for SSH. Historically I've used gpg-agent and PuTTY for this.

Support also wanted!

This software is great, but without that basic feature it is unusable to us...

We're getting more and more requests to add this feature and our developers are currently discussing its implementation. Any updates and we'll let you know. Thanks.

We need this feature also. Without PKCS11 support, there are a large number of scenarios in which we can not use XShell/Xagent.

Any plans / schedule for PKCS#11 support yet?
We're looking forward to start using your software full scale...

Any plans for it?

Hi

Xshell 6 Beta is out and - as You promissed - there is support for PKCS#11

Could You tell us how to use it ?
In authentication method, when I choose PKCS11 in Setup we have Middleware Path and Token PIN.
Short tutorial could be useful.

Regards

I tested feitian epass token with Xshell6 beta.

1. Download opensc(32bit) in github( https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/releases )

2. Install

3. Check the middleware("opensc-pkcs11.dll" ) is installed.
(C:\Windows\System32\opensc-pkcs11.dll)

4. Open Xshell and create new session with your token info.

If you need to setup key, follow this instruction.
