In our SFTP protocol implementation, neither the OpenSSH config file nor the ssh-keys directory approach allows for using a password/passphrase protected ssh key. No reasonable workaround is available.

To specify passphrase for server add to the configuration property with a proper identity in the name "openssh.key.passphrase.test2@sftp-dev.javlin.eu=changeit"
For designer, both dialogs and runtime, there is a new text field in the configuration right under openssh config definition. Each passphrase needs a new line like this: "test2@sftp-dev.javlin.eu=changeit".
QA: Test this works both with keys stored in project and when using openssh config file. Also check if the password can be encryptred (use command line tool).

All uses of passphrase-protected ssh keys should start working after we implement this - both via OpenSSH config file and via “ssh-keys” directory.
Scenarios:
usage of sftp in reader/writer components
usage of sftp in fileoperations components
usage of sftp in Server File Event Listener
browsing the remote directory content over sftp in fileUrl dialog in designer
