# ssh-agent plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin starts automatically `ssh-agent` to set up and load whichever
|
|
credentials you want for ssh connections.
|
|
|
|
To enable it, add `ssh-agent` to your plugins:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
plugins=(... ssh-agent)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT: put these settings _before_ the line that sources oh-my-zsh**
|
|
|
|
To enable **agent forwarding support** add the following to your zshrc file:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent agent-forwarding on
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To **load multiple identities** use the `identities` style, For example:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent identities id_rsa id_rsa2 id_github
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** the identities may be an absolute path if they are somewhere other than
|
|
`~/.ssh`. For example:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent identities ~/.config/ssh/id_rsa ~/.config/ssh/id_rsa2 ~/.config/ssh/id_github
|
|
# which can be simplified to
|
|
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent identities ~/.config/ssh/{id_rsa,id_rsa2,id_github}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To **set the maximum lifetime of the identities**, use the `lifetime` style.
|
|
The lifetime may be specified in seconds or as described in sshd_config(5)
|
|
(see _TIME FORMATS_). If left unspecified, the default lifetime is forever.
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent lifetime 4h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To **pass arguments to the `ssh-add` command** that adds the identities on startup,
|
|
use the `ssh-add-args` setting. You can pass multiple arguments separated by spaces:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent ssh-add-args -K -c -a /run/user/1000/ssh-auth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These will then be passed the the `ssh-add` call as if written directly. The example
|
|
above will turn into:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
ssh-add -K -c -a /run/user/1000/ssh-auth <identities>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For valid `ssh-add` arguments run `ssh-add --help` or `man ssh-add`.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To set an **external helper** to ask for the passwords and possibly store
|
|
them in the system keychain use the `helper` style. For example:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
zstyle :omz:plugins:ssh-agent helper ksshaskpass
|
|
```
