update-ssh-keys
โ This crate is deprecated and unmaintained โ
update-ssh-keys
is no longer maintained; the recommended replacement is
ssh-key-dir.
update-ssh-keys
implements authorized_keys.d
by providing a program and
library to merge keys from authorized_keys.d/*
into authorized_keys
so
sshd
can find them. This manual process can cause confusion if the
directory gets out of sync with the authorized_keys
file.
ssh-key-dir solves this problem by providing a helper program that sshd
can run at authentication time to read authorized_keys.d
files directly.
In this model, authorized_keys
is simply an additional source of keys, and
no longer needs to be kept in sync.
About update-ssh-keys
update-ssh-keys
is a command line tool and a library for managing openssh
authorized public keys. It keeps track of sets of keys with names, allows for
adding additional keys, as well as deleting and disabling them. For usage
information, see update-ssh-keys -h
or run cargo doc
to read the
documentation on the library api.
The update-ssh-keys
command line tool is included in Container Linux, so there
should be no reason to install it. If you would like to use this on a
non-Container Linux machine, you can build the project with cargo build --release
. The rust toolchain is required to build it. You can install rustup
to manage your rust toolchain - https://www.rustup.rs.
test/test_update_ssh_keys.py
is a python script which tests the functionality
of the update-ssh-keys
command line tool. If changes are made to
update-ssh-keys
, that script should be run.
