SSH remoting Credential objects from OSX can hard-lock Powershell #8723
Description
Steps to reproduce
From an OSX client to a Windows host:
PS /Users/myuser> $cred = Get-Credential
PowerShell credential request
Enter your credentials.
User: domain\user
Password for user domain\user: ************
PS /Users/myuser> $session = New-PSSession -HostName "windows.host" -UserName "domain\user" -KeyFilePath "/Users/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa"
PS /Users/myuser> Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock {param($c) $Global:Credential = $c} -ArgumentList $cred
#### PowerShell locks up here and doesn't respond. It must be killed externally. ####Expected behavior
The Invoke-Command command should return and set a global parameter on the remote session.
Actual behavior
PowerShell freezes and must be terminated externally.
Additional Notes
I came across this issue because I was unable to run Get-Credential directly on the remote machine. I suspect the issues are related. When attempting to run Get-Credential directly on the remote machine, it hangs for a little bit, then returns an error:
[domain\user@windows.host]: PS C:\Users\myuser> $cred = Get-Credential
PowerShell Credential Request: PowerShell credential request
Warning: A script or application on the remote computer WINDOWS.HOST is requesting your credentials. Enter your credentials only if you trust the remote computer and the application or script that is requesting them.
Enter your credentials.
User: domain\user
Password for user domain\user: ************At this point, the system hangs until you press "ctrl-c" to terminate it. Once you press "ctrl-c" it outputs the following before dumping you back into a shell.
Unable to load shared library 'api-ms-win-security-cryptoapi-l1-1-0.dll' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES environment variable: dlopen(libapi-ms-win-security-cryptoapi-l1-1-0.dll, 1): image not found
