Executing On Windows Endpoint With GIT Plugin

For endpoints that are Windows based, it is recommended that the OpenSSH version is 8.4+. When executing GIT plugin operations on a Windows system, FlexDeploy uses the SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE environment variable to supply the passphrase of the private key. This environment variable was introduced in OpenSSH 8.4. For endpoints that are Windows based, it is recommended that the OpenSSH version should be 8.4+. If the version is <8.4, then trying to use SSH Keys with passphrases will not work when trying to connect to GIT repositories, and will result in an error that includes the message Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. which could be misleading as there are many factors that will cause that error message. Note that this is not limited to just with the GIT plugin, as trying to make an SSH connection through a custom groovy script or shell script within a workflow could result in a similar issue.
