1 | SSH-ADD(1) OpenBSD Reference Manual SSH-ADD(1) | ||
2 | |||
3 | NAME | ||
4 | ssh-add - adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent | ||
5 | |||
6 | SYNOPSIS | ||
7 | ssh-add [-cDdLlXx] [-t life] [file ...] | ||
8 | ssh-add -s reader | ||
9 | ssh-add -e reader | ||
10 | |||
11 | DESCRIPTION | ||
12 | ssh-add adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent, | ||
13 | ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the files | ||
14 | ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/identity. Alternative file names | ||
15 | can be given on the command line. If any file requires a passphrase, | ||
16 | ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The passphrase is read | ||
17 | from the user's tty. ssh-add retries the last passphrase if multiple | ||
18 | identity files are given. | ||
19 | |||
20 | The authentication agent must be running and the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environ- | ||
21 | ment variable must contain the name of its socket for ssh-add to work. | ||
22 | |||
23 | The options are as follows: | ||
24 | |||
25 | -c Indicates that added identities should be subject to confirmation | ||
26 | before being used for authentication. Confirmation is performed | ||
27 | by the SSH_ASKPASS program mentioned below. Successful confirma- | ||
28 | tion is signaled by a zero exit status from the SSH_ASKPASS pro- | ||
29 | gram, rather than text entered into the requester. | ||
30 | |||
31 | -D Deletes all identities from the agent. | ||
32 | |||
33 | -d Instead of adding identities, removes identities from the agent. | ||
34 | If ssh-add has been run without arguments, the keys for the de- | ||
35 | fault identities will be removed. Otherwise, the argument list | ||
36 | will be interpreted as a list of paths to public key files and | ||
37 | matching keys will be removed from the agent. If no public key | ||
38 | is found at a given path, ssh-add will append .pub and retry. | ||
39 | |||
40 | -e reader | ||
41 | Remove key in smartcard reader. | ||
42 | |||
43 | -L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently repre- | ||
44 | sented by the agent. | ||
45 | |||
46 | -l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the | ||
47 | agent. | ||
48 | |||
49 | -s reader | ||
50 | Add key in smartcard reader. | ||
51 | |||
52 | -t life | ||
53 | Set a maximum lifetime when adding identities to an agent. The | ||
54 | lifetime may be specified in seconds or in a time format speci- | ||
55 | fied in sshd_config(5). | ||
56 | |||
57 | -X Unlock the agent. | ||
58 | |||
59 | -x Lock the agent with a password. | ||
60 | |||
61 | ENVIRONMENT | ||
62 | DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS | ||
63 | If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from | ||
64 | the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh-add | ||
65 | does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and | ||
66 | SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by | ||
67 | SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This | ||
68 | is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a .xsession or | ||
69 | related script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary | ||
70 | to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.) | ||
71 | |||
72 | SSH_AUTH_SOCK | ||
73 | Identifies the path of a unix-domain socket used to communicate | ||
74 | with the agent. | ||
75 | |||
76 | FILES | ||
77 | ~/.ssh/identity | ||
78 | Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity of | ||
79 | the user. | ||
80 | |||
81 | ~/.ssh/id_dsa | ||
82 | Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of | ||
83 | the user. | ||
84 | |||
85 | ~/.ssh/id_rsa | ||
86 | Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity of | ||
87 | the user. | ||
88 | |||
89 | Identity files should not be readable by anyone but the user. Note that | ||
90 | ssh-add ignores identity files if they are accessible by others. | ||
91 | |||
92 | DIAGNOSTICS | ||
93 | Exit status is 0 on success, 1 if the specified command fails, and 2 if | ||
94 | ssh-add is unable to contact the authentication agent. | ||
