Feature Request - Add Certificate Based SSH Auth to Groovy Script | Archive

I am attempting to SSH into several servers using Groovy Script, in the following manner:import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.expect.Expecthostname = hostProps.get("system.hostname");sshuser=hostProps.get("ssh.user");sshpass=hostProps.get("ssh.pass");cli = Expect.open(hostname,sshuser,sshpass)Instead of logging in with a username and password, I wish to login with a client certificate instead. I reached out to LM support, and they confirmed that certificate based ssh authentication is not supported in Groovy Script.To workaround this, I am doing this instead, where the certificate is installed on my "Jump Host":import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.expect.Expecthostname = hostProps.get("system.hostname");sshuser=hostProps.get("ssh.user");sshpass=hostProps.get("ssh.pass");sshjumphost=hostProps.get("ssh.jumphost");//First, open SSH to our JumpHostcli = Expect.open(sshjumphost,sshuser,sshpass)//Next, execute remote ssh command on the host, from the jumphost's ssh sessioncli.send("/usr/bin/ssh " + sshuser + "@" + hostname + " /home/someuser/somecommand \n")cli.send("exit \n")cli.expectClose()cli.stdout().eachLine { line -> if ( line =~ /(GOOD|ERROR) - (.*)/ ) { println line } }This works well as a workaround, but I would prefer to not have to SSH twice to get the value.
