Pageant for local authentication. (This is a `don't use Pageant for
authentication at session startup' button rather than a `pretend
Pageant doesn't exist' button: that is, agent forwarding is
independent of this option.)

@ -2310,6 +2310,24 @@ unwanted username prompts, you could try checking this option.
This option only affects SSH-2 connections. SSH-1 connections always
require an authentication step.
\S{config-ssh-tryagent} \q{Attempt authentication using Pageant}
\cfg{winhelp-topic}{ssh.auth.pageant}
If this option is enabled, then PuTTY will look for Pageant (the SSH
private-key storage agent) and attempt to authenticate with any
suitable public keys Pageant currently holds.
This behaviour is almost always desirable, and is therefore enabled
by default. In rare cases you might need to turn it off in order to
force authentication by some non-public-key method such as
passwords.
This option can also be controlled using the \c{-noagent}
command-line option. See \k{using-cmdline-agentauth}.
See \k{pageant} for more information about Pageant in general.
