Client always asks for a username when authenticating with SSH agent

Every time the connection is started, the NoMachine client asks to confirm the username for the authentication. This problem occurs on a fresh connection file configured to use SSH protocol and SSH agent as authentication.

As a workaround, terminate the client and edit the NXS connection file by changing the line

<option key="System auth" value="EMPTY_PASSWORD" />

to

<option key="System auth" value="" />

SOLVED, Released in version 9.1.24
