Description Cédric Bosdonnat 2016-11-03 08:50:23 UTC 
When viewing a spice display over SSH without a key added to an agent, the user gets prompted for SSH password endlessly.

It would be much better to have the SSH password asked only once.

Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2016-11-09 20:47:50 UTC 
this is rather a bug for virt-viewer & virt-manager. Tbh, I am not sure what the solution could be, perhaps using socket forward, or using the "master" mode (connection sharing), Daniel ?
