WSL_scripts

This is a setup script to connec the WSL ssh-agent to your Windows ssh-agent.

This script assumes:

• Your WSL is running Ubuntu
• You have KU Leuven's CertAgent installed and set to AutoStart (right-click the tray icon and make sure AutoStart is checked)
• You have downloaded the kmk binary from ICTS and placed it in your Windows Downloads folder

Functionality

• performs a software check for necessary software and advises otherwise
• asks for your r-number (or u- or b-number)
• creates ~/.ssh/config if needed
• adds host entries to ~/.ssh/config
• creates a helper command in ~/.local/bin
• adds ~/.local/bin to PATH in ~/.bashrc if needed
• downloads npiperelay to communicate with Windows CertAgent
• sets up the necessary config in ~/.bashrc to make it work
• Optionally: add windows SSH keys to agent on WSL startup. (Modify the SSH_keys_to_add=() line in your .bashrc)

Setup

1. Clone this repo inside WSL

cd
git clone https://github.com/IvS-KULeuven/WSL_scripts.git

2. Run the setup.sh script

cd WSL_scripts
bash setup.sh

Other files aside setup.sh

This repo also includes some other files. Those are the manual approach. setup.sh does not read these, they are included inside that script in a slightly different form for automation. If you don't trust running scripts from the internet or want to investigate yourself, feel free to inspect.

• .bashrc: entries for your ~/.bashrc
• kmkcheck: placed under ~/.local/bin
• shared_ssh_agent.sh: sourced in .bashrc
• ssh_config: entries for ~/.ssh/config
