Bug ID: 3843
Summary: Multiple tags
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 10.0p2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: nix-muell at gmx.net
Having finally updated my last pre v9.4 client, i can now use tags.
Lil' bummer; they don't work quite as anticipated. I'd love have
more
than one tag per connection.
Even the only blog post about openssh tags (that I'm aware of)
wrongfully thought a connection setup can have multiple dynamically
assigned tags.
'Match tagged' is already parsed as a comma separated list. Why are the
'Tag ...' config and '-P' option not?
Lazy admin like me could do something like `ssh 10.temporary.ip.address
-P new` or `ssh host.about-to-be.changed -P temp,local` and have a
beautiful generalized config like
```
Match tagged local
ProxyJump none
Match 10.*.*.*
ProxyJump companyBastionHost
Match tagged new
User setupuser
Tag temp
Tag SetB
#or Tag +temp,SetB
Match tagged temp
User free-for-all
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
LogLevel ERROR
Match tagged SetA
Agent path
IdentityFile key-1.pub
IdentityFile key-2.pub
Match tagged SetB
Agent maybe/different
IdentityFile certainly/different.pub
```
Not a real example, but think of the possibilities.
