| 52 | The file contains keyword-argument pairs, one per line. |
| 53 | Lines starting with |
| 54 | .Ql # |
| 55 | and empty lines are interpreted as comments. |
Damien Miller | 306d118 | 2006-03-15 12:05:59 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 56 | Arguments may optionally be enclosed in double quotes |

| 62 | keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensitive): |

Darren Tucker | 46bc075 | 2004-05-02 22:11:30 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 64 | .It Cm AcceptEnv |

Darren Tucker | 1e0c9bf | 2004-05-02 22:12:48 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 73 | Note that environment passing is only supported for protocol 2. |

Darren Tucker | 46bc075 | 2004-05-02 22:11:30 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 83 | user environments. |
| 84 | For this reason, care should be taken in the use of this directive. |

Damien Miller | e989019 | 2008-05-19 14:59:02 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 97 | .It Cm AllowAgentForwarding |

| 100 | forwarding is permitted. |
| 101 | The default is |
| 102 | .Dq yes . |
| 103 | Note that disabling agent forwarding does not improve security |

| 109 | If specified, login is allowed only for users whose primary |

Damien Miller | aa5b3f8 | 2012-12-03 09:50:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 125 | The available options are |
| 126 | .Dq yes |

Damien Miller | aa5b3f8 | 2012-12-03 09:50:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 136 | .Dq remote |
| 137 | to allow remote forwarding only. |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 138 | The default is |
| 139 | .Dq yes . |
| 140 | Note that disabling TCP forwarding does not improve security unless |
| 141 | users are also denied shell access, as they can always install their |
| 142 | own forwarders. |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 143 | .It Cm AllowUsers |

Damien Miller | 5a93add | 2003-01-24 11:34:52 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 146 | If specified, login is allowed only for user names that |

| 149 | By default, login is allowed for all users. |
| 150 | If the pattern takes the form USER@HOST then USER and HOST |

Damien Miller | ac73e51 | 2006-03-15 11:58:49 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 153 | The allow/deny directives are processed in the following order: |

Damien Miller | a6e3f01 | 2012-11-04 23:21:40 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 163 | .It Cm AuthenticationMethods |
| 164 | Specifies the authentication methods that must be successfully completed |
| 165 | for a user to be granted access. |
| 166 | This option must be followed by one or more comma-separated lists of |
| 167 | authentication method names. |
| 168 | Successful authentication requires completion of every method in at least |
| 169 | one of these lists. |
| 170 | .Pp |
| 171 | For example, an argument of |
| 172 | .Dq publickey,password publickey,keyboard-interactive |
| 173 | would require the user to complete public key authentication, followed by |
| 174 | either password or keyboard interactive authentication. |
| 175 | Only methods that are next in one or more lists are offered at each stage, |
| 176 | so for this example, it would not be possible to attempt password or |
| 177 | keyboard-interactive authentication before public key. |
| 178 | .Pp |
Damien Miller | 91a55f2 | 2013-04-23 15:18:10 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 179 | For keyboard interactive authentication it is also possible to |
| 180 | restrict authentication to a specific device by appending a |
| 181 | colon followed by the device identifier |
| 182 | .Dq bsdauth , |
| 183 | .Dq pam , |
| 184 | or |
| 185 | .Dq skey , |
| 186 | depending on the server configuration. |
| 187 | For example, |
| 188 | .Dq keyboard-interactive:bsdauth |
| 189 | would restrict keyboard interactive authentication to the |
| 190 | .Dq bsdauth |
| 191 | device. |
| 192 | .Pp |
Damien Miller | a6e3f01 | 2012-11-04 23:21:40 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 193 | This option is only available for SSH protocol 2 and will yield a fatal |
| 194 | error if enabled if protocol 1 is also enabled. |
| 195 | Note that each authentication method listed should also be explicitly enabled |
| 196 | in the configuration. |
| 197 | The default is not to require multiple authentication; successful completion |
| 198 | of a single authentication method is sufficient. |
Damien Miller | 09d3e12 | 2012-10-31 08:58:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 199 | .It Cm AuthorizedKeysCommand |
Damien Miller | f33580e | 2012-11-04 22:22:52 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 200 | Specifies a program to be used to look up the user's public keys. |
Damien Miller | 467b00c | 2013-04-23 15:23:07 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 201 | The program must be owned by root and not writable by group or others. |
| 202 | It will be invoked with a single argument of the username |
Damien Miller | 09d3e12 | 2012-10-31 08:58:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 203 | being authenticated, and should produce on standard output zero or |

Damien Miller | 09d3e12 | 2012-10-31 08:58:58 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 213 | It is recommended to use a dedicated user that has no other role on the host |

Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1064 | should check file modes and ownership of the |

Damien Miller | 208f1ed | 2006-03-15 11:56:03 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 1074 | Configures an external subsystem (e.g. file transfer daemon). |
Damien Miller | 917f9b6 | 2006-07-10 20:36:47 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 1075 | Arguments should be a subsystem name and a command (with optional arguments) |

Damien Miller | f4f22b5 | 2006-03-15 11:57:25 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 1097 | .Xr sshd 8 . |
Ben Lindstrom | 9f04903 | 2002-06-21 00:59:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1098 | The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, |

Damien Miller | 12c150e | 2003-12-17 16:31:10 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 1101 | .It Cm TCPKeepAlive |
| 1102 | Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the |
| 1103 | other side. |
| 1104 | If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one |
| 1105 | of the machines will be properly noticed. |
| 1106 | However, this means that |
| 1107 | connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people |
| 1108 | find it annoying. |
| 1109 | On the other hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent, |
| 1110 | sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving |
| 1111 | .Dq ghost |
| 1112 | users and consuming server resources. |
| 1113 | .Pp |
| 1114 | The default is |
| 1115 | .Dq yes |
| 1116 | (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the server will notice |
| 1117 | if the network goes down or the client host crashes. |
| 1118 | This avoids infinitely hanging sessions. |
| 1119 | .Pp |
| 1120 | To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to |
| 1121 | .Dq no . |
Damien Miller | 1aed65e | 2010-03-04 21:53:35 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 1122 | .It Cm TrustedUserCAKeys |

Damien Miller | c6db99e | 2010-03-05 10:41:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 1124 | trusted to sign user certificates for authentication. |
Damien Miller | 72b3382 | 2010-03-05 07:39:01 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 1125 | Keys are listed one per line; empty lines and comments starting with |

| 1127 | are allowed. |
| 1128 | If a certificate is presented for authentication and has its signing CA key |
| 1129 | listed in this file, then it may be used for authentication for any user |
| 1130 | listed in the certificate's principals list. |
| 1131 | Note that certificates that lack a list of principals will not be permitted |
| 1132 | for authentication using |

Darren Tucker | 83d5a98 | 2005-03-31 21:33:50 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 1139 | should look up the remote host name and check that |
Damien Miller | 3a961dc | 2003-06-03 10:25:48 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 1140 | the resolved host name for the remote IP address maps back to the |

Darren Tucker | 1dcff9a | 2004-05-13 16:51:40 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 1173 | .Pp |

| 1192 | After successful authentication, another process will be created that has |
