Name

sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy — get OpenSSH host keys

Synopsis

sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy [ options ] HOST [PROXY_COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy acquires SSH host public keys for host HOST, stores them in a custom OpenSSH known_hosts file (see the “SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS FILE FORMAT” section of sshd(8) for more information) /var/lib/sss/pubconf/known_hosts and estabilishes connection to the host.

If PROXY_COMMAND is specified, it is used to create the connection to the host instead of opening a socket.

ssh(1) can be configured to use sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy for host key authentication by using the following directives for ssh(1) configuration: 

ProxyCommand /usr/bin/sss_ssh_knownhostsproxy -p %p %h
GlobalKnownHostsFile /var/lib/sss/pubconf/known_hosts

OPTIONS

-d,--domain DOMAIN

Search for host public keys in SSSD domain DOMAIN.

-?,--help
