Windows Terminal version

1.17.1023

Windows build number

10.0.22621.1413

Other Software

OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.6p1
LibreSSL 3.4.3

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Windows Terminal (Preview) through the Microsoft Store
2. Install the OpenSSH client from Windows Optional Features
3. Create a user OpenSSH config file under %userprofile%.ssh\config:

Host myhost  
    HostName something.domain.com  
    User myuser  
    IdentityFile "C:\Users\myuser\myfolder\id_rsa"

5. (Optional) Add "disabledProfileSources" : [ ], to settings.json
6. Open Windows Terminal (Preview)

Note: It appears adding "disabledProfileSources" : [ "Windows.Terminal.SSH" ], produces a Value not accepted warning in VsCode as it's not listed in the profiles schema enum.

Expected Behavior

Docs says that "Windows Terminal version 1.XX+ can dynamically generate profiles to connect to the SSH hosts within your OpenSSH config file"

Actual Behavior

Nothing happens

@McLavish the feature might not be enabled, yet. See details at;

terminal/src/features.xml

Lines 141 to 146 in b9248fa

You could enable it using a branding token and build the terminal. I use dev token and it does generate an SSH profile:

To my surprise clicking on that profile opened a SSH connection to a Pi4 box, no errors!

[McLavish]

@elsaco I guess you're right but then it shouldn't be listed as a feature in the windows terminal docs

[nguyen-dows]

@McLavish I agree. There is already been an issue made to get this removed from the docs page which I've assigned myself too: MicrosoftDocs/terminal#641

Thanks for including the screenshot and link to the doc!

You know what, good callout. We should remove this from the docs until we ship this. Clearly our docs need some love 😅

I'm gonna hijack your OP to track the rest of the work needed to get this across the finish line.

Any chance this is working now ?

[zadjii-msft]

Nope. The issue is still open. We haven't really had the time to loop back around on this one. We'd love the help if you're interested though!
