This looks like what I want.  I am trying filter through all of the changes.  
Did the backend work get included in 11.0.8 of the server?  I am going to try 
to patch in the client side changes and see if I can get it to work.  How can 
we get this effort moving again?

Hi,

There certainly seem to be other users who would like something along these 
lines.

Joe, you might want to take a look at CHEF-2381 (link below). Attached to it 
are some patches that allow knife to use ssh-agent.

    https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2381 ;

Changes were made to the authN code in Chef Server to work with this, but the 
client side changes got bogged down trying to find the right form to add the 
feature and not break back compat.

If this approach would meet your needs, it would be great to revive the 
patches and see what we can do.

+ seth
