Bug ID: 3762
Summary: ForkAfterAuthentication doesn't work with Windows
native SSH
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 9.5p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows 10
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: unassigned-b...@mindrot.org
Reporter: devstem...@gmail.com
When using Windows 10 or 11 native OpenSSH client,
ForkAfterAuthentication won't fork/send the ssh connection to the
background.
`ssh my-tunnel`
SSH config file:
```
Host my-tunnel
User foo
RemoteForward 9099 localhost:9003
Hostname bar.com
SessionType none
RequestTTY no
ServerAliveInterval 300
ForkAfterAuthentication yes
IdentitiesOnly yes
PreferredAuthentications publickey
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile C:\Some\Path\private.key
```
(same issue when using -f instead of ForkAfterAuthentication)
When using ssh that comes bundled with e.g. "Git for Windows", it works
perfectly fine though.
I found that there was a fixed bug for Cygwin
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1278 (via
https://superuser.com/questions/965374/setup-ssh-in-background-windows),
which I assume is what also fixed this for the ssh that comes with "Git
for Windows".
However for the native OpenSSH ssh client it's not working still.
