You don't need to use the option CURLSSH_AUTH_AGENT if you don't want to use it. It's just there to make it easier for users with a pre-generated DSA/RSA key pair to log into an SSH server. If you set it to CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY, then libcurl will pick one, and your app may need to ask users for their passphrase if they want to authenticate using a key pair rather than a password.
