2011-05-23allow AuthorizedKeysFile to specify multiple files, separated by spaces.Damien Miller
Bring back authorized_keys2 as a default search path (to avoid breaking existing users of this file), but override this in sshd_config so it will be no longer used on fresh installs. Maybe in 2015 we can remove it entierly :) feedback and ok markus@ dtucker@

2010-08-31Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH) andDamien Miller
host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys. Only the mandatory sections of RFC5656 are implemented, specifically the three REQUIRED curves nistp256, nistp384 and nistp521 and only ECDH and ECDSA. Point compression (optional in RFC5656 is NOT implemented). Certificate host and user keys using the new ECDSA key types are supported. Note that this code has not been tested for interoperability and may be subject to change. feedback and ok markus@
2010-08-08use the same template for all FILES sections; i.e. -compact/.Pp where weJason McIntyre
have multiple items, and .Pa for path names;
2010-08-04Remove mentions of weird "addr/port" alternate address format for IPv6Damien Miller
addresses combinations. It hasn't worked for ages and we have supported the more commen "[addr]:port" format for a long time. ok jmc@ markus@
2010-05-07add some optional indirection to matching of principal names listedDamien Miller
in certificates. Currently, a certificate must include the a user's name to be accepted for authentication. This change adds the ability to specify a list of certificate principal names that are acceptable. When authenticating using a CA trusted through ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, this adds a new principals="name1[,name2,...]" key option. For CAs listed through sshd_config's TrustedCAKeys option, a new config option "AuthorizedPrincipalsFile" specifies a per-user file containing the list of acceptable names. If either option is absent, the current behaviour of requiring the username to appear in principals continues to apply. These options are useful for role accounts, disjoint account namespaces and "user@realm"-style naming policies in certificates. feedback and ok markus@

2010-02-26Add support for certificate key types for users and hosts.Damien Miller
OpenSSH certificate key types are not X.509 certificates, but a much simpler format that encodes a public key, identity information and some validity constraints and signs it with a CA key. CA keys are regular SSH keys. This certificate style avoids the attack surface of X.509 certificates and is very easy to deploy. Certified host keys allow automatic acceptance of new host keys when a CA certificate is marked as trusted in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. see VERIFYING HOST KEYS in ssh(1) for details. Certified user keys allow authentication of users when the signing CA key is marked as trusted in authorized_keys. See "AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT" in sshd(8) for details. Certificates are minted using ssh-keygen(1), documentation is in the "CERTIFICATES" section of that manpage. Documentation on the format of certificates is in the file PROTOCOL.certkeys feedback and ok markus@

2008-06-10Add extended test mode (-T) and connection parameters for test mode (-C).Darren Tucker
-T causes sshd to write its effective configuration to stdout and exit. -C causes any relevant Match rules to be applied before output. The combination allows tesing of the parser and config files. ok deraadt djm

on a patch from Devin Nate in bz#910. For any connection using the default port or using a HostKeyAlias the format is unchanged, otherwise the host name or address is enclosed within square brackets in the same format as sshd's ListenAddress. Tested by many, ok markus@.
