.TH TDESSHASKPASS 1
.SH NAME
tdesshaskpass \- prompts a user for a passphrase using TDE
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tdesshaskpass
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B tdesshaskpass
is a TDE-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.
It is intended to be called by the
.BR ssh\-add (1)
program and not invoked directly.
It allows
.BR ssh\-add (1)
to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal
(assuming that an X display is available).
This happens automatically in the case where
.B ssh\-add
is invoked from one's
.B ~/.xsession
or as one of the TDE startup programs, for example.
.PP
In order to be called automatically by
.BR ssh\-add ,
.B tdesshaskpass
should be installed as
.IR /usr/bin/ssh\-askpass .
