Now we check that we can actually make an ssh_key out of it, and
moreover, that the key is of a sensible kind (i.e. not a certificate
in turn). If that's not true, we report something about the problem in
a new CTRL_TEXT below the public key input box. If the key _is_ valid,
that same text control is used to show its type, length and
fingerprint.
On Windows, I've widened the dialog box a little to make fingerprints
fit sensibly in it.
Now the RSA signature-type checkboxes should be aligned with their
label; the 'Add' and 'Remove' buttons for wildcards should align with
the edit box for entering a wildcard; and the 'Load from file' button
for a public key aligns with the edit box for that.
Introduced in dc7ba12253 earlier today. On GTK these caused no
problems worse than a GTK warning, but I'd better fix them before they
(potentially) do worse on Windows!
As distinct from the type of signature generated by the SSH server
itself from the host key, this lets you exclude (and by default does
exclude) the old "ssh-rsa" SHA-1 signature type from the signature of
the CA on the certificate.
This means that, on the one hand, an absentminded press of Return
doesn't dismiss the entire CA config box, which would be pretty
annoying if you were half way through entering a load of fiddly stuff.
And on the other hand, you _can_ press Escape to dismiss the box,
which is less likely to happen by accident.
This allows you to load a CA public key from a disk file (in any
format acceptable to ppk_load_pub, which means OpenSSH one-line public
keys and also RFC4716 ones).
In the course of polishing up this dialog box, I'm going to want it to
actually do cryptographic things (such as checking validity of a
public key blob and printing its fingerprint), which means it will
need to link against SSH utility functions.
So I've moved the dialog-box setup and handling code out of config.c
into a new file in the ssh subdirectory and in the ssh library, where
those facilities will be conveniently available.
This also means that dialog-box setup code _won't_ be linked into
PuTTYtel or pterm (on either platform), so I've added a stub source
file to provide its entry-point function in those tools. Also,
provided a const bool to indicate whether that dialog is available,
which we use to decide whether to recognise that command-line option.
