NAME

       cdist-type__ssh_authorized_keys - Manage ssh authorized_keys files

DESCRIPTION

       Adds or removes ssh keys from a authorized_keys file.

       This  type  uses  the __ssh_dot_ssh type to manage the directory containing the authorized_keys file. You
       can disable this feature with the --noparent boolean parameter.

       The existence, ownership and permissions of the authorized_keys file itself are also managed. This can be
       disabled  with the --nofile boolean parameter. It is then left to the user to ensure that the file exists
       and that ownership and permissions work with ssh.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

       key    the ssh key which shall be added to this authorized_keys file.   Must  be  a  string  and  can  be
              specified multiple times.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       comment
              explicit comment instead of the one which may be trailing the given key

       file   an alternative destination file, defaults to ~$owner/.ssh/authorized_keys

       option an  option  to  set for all created authorized_key entries.  Can be specified multiple times.  See
              sshd(8) for available options.

       owner  the user owning the authorized_keys file, defaults to object_id.

       state  if the given keys should be 'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present'.

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

       noparent
              don't create or change ownership and permissions of the directory containing  the  authorized_keys
              file

       nofile don't manage existence, ownership and permissions of the the authorized_keys file

EXAMPLES

          # add your ssh key to remote root's authorized_keys file
          __ssh_authorized_keys root \
             --key "$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"

          # allow key to login as user-name
          __ssh_authorized_keys user-name \
             --key "ssh-rsa AXYZAAB3NzaC1yc2..."

          # allow key to login as user-name with options and expicit comment
          __ssh_authorized_keys user-name \
             --key "ssh-rsa AXYZAAB3NzaC1yc2..." \
             --option no-agent-forwarding \
             --option 'from="*.example.com"' \
             --comment 'backup server'

          # same as above, but with explicit owner and two keys
          # note that the options are set for all given keys
          __ssh_authorized_keys some-fancy-id \
             --owner user-name \
             --key "ssh-rsa AXYZAAB3NzaC1yc2..." \
             --key "ssh-rsa AZXYAAB3NzaC1yc2..." \
             --option no-agent-forwarding \
             --option 'from="*.example.com"' \
             --comment 'backup server'

          # authorized_keys file in non standard location
          __ssh_authorized_keys some-fancy-id \
             --file /etc/ssh/keys/user-name/authorized_keys \
             --owner user-name \
             --key "ssh-rsa AXYZAAB3NzaC1yc2..."

          # same as above, but directory and authorized_keys file is created elswhere
          __ssh_authorized_keys some-fancy-id \
             --file /etc/ssh/keys/user-name/authorized_keys \
             --owner user-name \
             --noparent \
             --nofile \
             --key "ssh-rsa AXYZAAB3NzaC1yc2..."
