Title:
[Feature] Add AuthorizedKeysCommand to OpenSSH
Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
RedHat recently applied a patch to their OpenSSH server supporting a
new configuration directive: AuthorizedKeysCommand
For example:
*/etc/ssh/sshd_config*
AuthorizedKeysCommand "/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-pubkey-helper -s %u"
In 'ssh-pubkey-helper' you can write custom code for looking up public
keys.
This is useful in large server environments when you don't want to
overwrite the authorized_keys file on every server.
We are running a couple of hundred Ubuntu servers and would like to
see this patch in OpenSSH. It would give us (and other users) the
benefit of having one central place where we maintain our
authorization and accounting.
The benefit for a lot of Ubuntu users will be great I think.
