# 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 |
|
``` |
