check the version of ssh with
ssh -V
If it shows Sun_SSH the Agent for PAM is is not supported with this kind of SSH. You need to get a version of OpenSSH that the Agent for PAM is supported with.
For example, the Agent 7.1 for PAM is supported with OpenSSH 6.0p1 (or a newer 6.0 patch) . OpenSSH needs to be compiled from source before installation. See the documentation for Solaris and OpenSSH for detailed instructions.
