If i try the ssh command in my commandline, i will be asked for my passphrase.

I was just trying to reproduce on poweshell terminal, and ssh.exe prompts for my passphrase - so far so correct. After I entered the correct passphrase, I get a waiting cursor, and nothing happens for at least 20 seconds:

What's happening there?

Edit: forget this, I was expecting some output but started a tunnel which does not output anything, so the connection was successful.

Problem seems to lie somewhere in my TProcessPipe and TSecureShellCmd implementation. The output saying "Enter passphrase for key ...:" is not visible in the out pipe, for some reason.

I just tried with plink.exe and I was asked for the passphrase:

Note that plink/putty uses a different key format, so I had to convert my OpenSSH key with puttygen.exe to the format which plink accepts. Withouth that, plink is returning a "Unable to use key file" error (invisible in HeidiSQL), and asks for the users password.

Next build shows potential errors in the dialog and in the log panel, like the one you get when using plink with a OpenSSH key:

Solution is to use plink witha putty key if you want to use keys with a passphrase. HeidiSQL then prompts you for the passphrase.

Using ssh.exe, it seems impossible to catch the "Enter passphrase" prompt from the internal process.
