Event Details

Commonly, servers are configured such that the SSH daemon disallows the use of passwords to log in. Instead, SSH keys (using public key cryptography) are often used, which are created per user and require installation of the public key onto each server that the user needs to log in to.

SSH user certificates have been supported by OpenSSH for many years. They allow more centralised management of users' SSH public keys (through a PKI mechanism) and require less work due to better scalability when dealing with significant numbers of servers. This talk will take the form of a tutorial and demo, after which attendees should be able to quickly roll out SSH user certificate infrastructure for their own servers.
