When using promoted-builds plugin you are not able to check the box "[x] SSH agent" like you are during a build. During the build process you can choose "[x] SSH Agent" under the Build Environment section and build steps can do things like use jenkins stored credentials to rsync files to remote hosts. However during a promotion process the SSH agent is not available as its not taking part as part of the "build" (executing separately). It would be nice if the SSH agent could be available during the promotion process sot hat the stored credentials could be made available to rsync via ssh-agent so we would not have to come up trickery to get our rsync's w/ keys that have passwords to work correctly as they are already configured in the jenkins credential store.
