Safe Password Entry for R, Git, and SSH // Cross-platform
|
|
utilities for prompting the user for credentials or a
|
|
passphrase, for example to authenticate with a server or read a
|
|
protected key. Includes native programs for MacOS and Windows,
|
|
hence no 'tcltk' is required. Password entry can be invoked in
|
|
two different ways: directly from R via the askpass() function,
|
|
or indirectly as password-entry back-end for 'ssh-agent' or
|
|
'git-credential' via the SSH_ASKPASS and GIT_ASKPASS
|
|
environment variables. Thereby the user can be prompted for
|
|
credentials or a passphrase if needed when R calls out to git
|
|
or ssh.
