I''m trying to make sure a specific user has a special ssh key used as his identity file. so I''m trying something like: augeas{"user_second_key": context => "/files/home/user/.ssh/config", changes => [ "ins IdentityFile after /files/home/user/.ssh/config/IdentityFile[last()]", " set /files/home/user/.ssh/config/IdentityFile[last()] ~/.ssh/user2nd_rsa", ], onlyif => "match /files/home/user/.ssh/config/IdentityFile not_include ~/.ssh/user2nd_rsa",...

The IdentityFile config (or -i argument) lets you insist on (or prioritize, at least) a particular key file on disk. The key can be retrieved from ssh-agent without decrypting the file on disk, but it must be found at the specified path. I have a use case in which keys are added to ssh-agent on a forwarded connecti...

...Too many authentication failures Authentication failed. AFAIU the ssh-agent is to blame here, trying out all keys he has ever seen. This conflicts with MaxAuthTries 6, set by default on the peer. The solution seems to be to set IdentitiesOnly, e.g.: : : Host host.example.com 2001:db8::8077 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa IdentitiesOnly yes Port 999 : : Shouldn't an explicit IdentityFile (as in the example) *imply* IdentitiesOnly? Every helpful comment is highly appreciated Harri

...I connect to. Now I have ran in to a problem where I need to switch settings based on what user I'm trying to login to a host as. A simple case is: ssh -i rootkey root at host123 vs. ssh -i userkey username at host123 Up until now I have just used a stanza like Host host123 User username IdentityFile userkey But it would be awesome of it was possible to add before that, eg fist match as all other blocks, a stanza looking like: Host root at host123 IdentityFile rootkey So when I type: "ssh host123" it resolves to equivalent of "ssh -i userkey username at host123" And whe...

...H identity that gives me different permissions on the server (again, through a command directive on authorized_keys on the server). So, my .ssh/config uses two different Host configs, so I can use the alias hostname to get to the different access permissions: Host=hostA Hostname=repos.example.com IdentityFile=usera Host=hostAAdmin Hostname=repos.example.com IdentityFile=userb Of course, these key files are password protected. Once ssh-agent has the usera or userb key installed, it ignores the config...meaning I have to do a lot of shuffling with ssh-add...and I've lost the benefit of using ssh-ag...

editors note: just now found something about IdentitiesOnly that might do the trick. there's some other stuff in here too. about preventing info leakage [keys for other sites] from appearing in the client<-->server key negotiation with ssh-agent and IdentityFile. ssh/config:IdentityFile - seems to indicate that only the specified key will be tried, and if that key fails, no other keys will be tried. however, the tests further below prove otherwise. it would be great if IdentityFile would indeed try only the specified key by doing a lookup for it in the l...

...users) in a secure (non-NFS) mounted location on systems where home directories are NFS mounted. This is especially important for users who use blank passphrases rather than ssh-agent (a good example of where this is necessary is for tunnelling lpd through ssh on systems that run lpd as user lp). IdentityFile now accepts the same %u, %h, %% options that AuthorizedKeysFile accepts (see man sshd). For example, one can specify a user-dependent IdentityFile in ssh_config: IdentityFile /ssh/%u/id_rsa This patch and others are maintained on the http://www.math.ualberta.ca/imaging/snfs/ -- John Bowman Uni...

Here is the user-dependent IdentityFile patch for openssh3.5 (BSD version), which allows private key files to be placed system wide (for all users) in a secure (non-NFS) mounted location. This addresses an important security hole on systems where home directories are NFS mounted, particularly if there are users who use blank passphrases...
