__DESCRIPTION__ |
| |
|
18 |
|
| |
|
19 |
|
| |
|
20 |
ssh-add adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication |
| |
|
21 |
agent, ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it |
| |
|
22 |
adds the file $HOME/.ssh/identity. Alternative file |
| |
|
23 |
names can be given on the command line. If any file requires |
| |
|
24 |
a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. |
| |
|
25 |
The passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add retries |
| |
|
26 |
the last passphrase if multiple identity files are |
| |
|
27 |
given. |
| |
|
28 |
|
| |
|
29 |
|
| |
|
30 |
The authentication agent must be running and must be an ancestor of the current process for ssh-add to work. |
| |
|
31 |
|
| |
|
32 |
|
| |
|
33 |
The options are as follows: |
| |
|
34 |
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently repre-sented by the agent. |
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
|
| |
|
37 |
-LLists public key parameters of all identities cur-rently represented by the agent.-dInstead of adding the identity, removes the identityfrom the agent.-DDeletes all identities from the agent.-s readerAdd key in smartcard reader.-e readerRemove key in smartcard reader.__FILES__ |

$HOME/.ssh/identity |
| |
|
39 |
|
| |
|
40 |
|
| |
|
41 |
Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity |
| |
|
42 |
of the user. This file should not be read- able by anyone |
| |
|
43 |
but the user. Note that ssh-add ignores this file if it is |
| |
|
44 |
accessible by others. It is possible to specify a passphrase |
| |
|
45 |
when generating the key; that passphrase will be used to |
| |
|
46 |
encrypt the private part of this file. This is the default |
| |
|
47 |
file added by ssh-add when no other files have been speci- |
| |
|
48 |
fied. |

51 |
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa |
| |
|
52 |
Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity |
| |
|
53 |
of the user. |
| |
|
54 |
|
| |
|
55 |
|
| |
|
56 |
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa |
| |
|
57 |
Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity |
| |
|
58 |
of the user. |

__ENVIRONMENT__ |
| |
|
62 |
DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS |
| |
|
63 |
|
| |
|
64 |
|
| |
|
65 |
If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase |
| |
|
66 |
from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If |
| |
|
67 |
ssh-add does not have a terminal associated with it but |
| |
|
68 |
DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will |
| |
|
69 |
execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS and |
| |
|
70 |
open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is |
| |
|
71 |
particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a |
| |
|
72 |
.Xsession or related script. (Note that on some |
| |
|
73 |
machines it may be necessary to redirect the input from |
| |
|
74 |
/dev/null to make this work.) |
