SSH-ADD(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ADD(1)

NAME

ssh-add — adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent

SYNOPSIS

ssh-add [−lLdD] [file ...]
ssh-add −s
reader
ssh-add −e
reader

DESCRIPTION

ssh-add adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the files $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa and $HOME/.ssh/identity. Alternative file names can be given on the command line. If any file requires a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The passphrase is read from the user’s tty. ssh-add retries the last passphrase if multiple identity files are given.

The authentication agent must be running and must be an ancestor of the current process for ssh-add to work.

The options are as follows:

−l

Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.

−L

Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.

−d

Instead of adding the identity, removes the identity from the agent.

−D

Deletes all identities from the agent.

−s reader

Add key in smartcard reader.

−e reader

Remove key in smartcard reader.

FILES
$HOME/.ssh/identity

Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity of the user.

$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa

Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of the user.

$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa

Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity of the user.

Identity files should not be readable by anyone but the user. Note that ssh-add ignores identity files if they are accessible by others.

ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS

If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh-add does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a .Xsession or related script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)

DIAGNOSTICS

Exit status is 0 on success, 1 if the specified command fails, and 2 if ssh-add is unable to contact the authentication agent.

AUTHORS

OpenSSH is a derivative of the original and free ssh 1.2.12 release by Tatu Ylonen. Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt and Dug Song removed many bugs, re-added newer features and created OpenSSH. Markus Friedl contributed the support for SSH protocol versions 1.5 and 2.0.
