5.1.6. HOWTO Set up SSH Authorized Keys¶

This section provides guidance on managing SSH authorized keys within the SIMP environment.

5.1.6.1. LDAP Enabled¶

When enabled, SSH authorized keys are both stored and retrieved directly from LDAP.

5.1.6.2. Without LDAP¶

If not using LDAP, or in addition to LDAP, SSH authorized keys can be placed in /etc/ssh/local_keys/<USERNAME>. This file location is controlled by the simp/ssh Puppet module and can be changed by setting the ssh::server::conf::authorizedkeysfile parameter in Hiera or your ENC.
