Initial Comment:
Hi,


Would it be possible to add the SSH key passphrase field validation ? Currently it is possible to add a plain key (without a passphrase) and an encrypted key (but do not enter passphrase) with gsa. Using such credentials the scanner will not be able to log in to perform local checks, and the user is left puzzled with a log message:


[26394](/var/lib/openvas/plugins/ssh_authorization.nasl) gnutls_x509_privkey_import: Base64 unexpected header error. (-207)
[26440](/var/lib/openvas/plugins/tripwire.nasl) gnutls_x509_privkey_import: Base64 unexpected header error. (-207)


A simple JavaScript validation will do. 

Thanks in advance !
