Fl t Ar life +.Op Ar +.Nm ssh-add +.Fl s Ar pkcs11 +.Nm ssh-add +.Fl e Ar pkcs11 +.Sh DESCRIPTION +.Nm +adds private key identities to the authentication agent, +.Xr ssh-agent 1 . +When run without arguments, it adds the files +.Pa ~/.ssh/id_rsa , +.Pa ~/.ssh/id_dsa , +.Pa ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa , +and +.Pa ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 . +After loading a private key, +.Nm +will try to load corresponding certificate information from the +filename obtained by appending +.Pa -cert.pub +to the name of the private key file. +Alternative file names can be given on the command line. +.Pp +If any file requires a passphrase, +.Nm +asks for the passphrase from the user. +The passphrase is read from the user's tty. +.Nm +retries the last passphrase if multiple identity files are given. +.Pp +The authentication agent must be running and the +.Ev SSH_AUTH_SOCK +environment variable must contain the name of its socket for +.Nm +to work. +.Pp +The options are as follows: +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Fl c +Indicates that added identities should be subject to confirmation before +being used for authentication. +Confirmation is performed by +.Xr ssh-askpass 1 . +Successful confirmation is signaled by a zero exit status from +.Xr ssh-askpass 1 , +rather than text entered into the requester. +.It Fl D +Deletes all identities from the agent. +.It Fl d +Instead of adding identities, removes identities from the agent. +If +.Nm +has been run without arguments, the keys for the default identities and +their corresponding certificates will be removed. +Otherwise, the argument list will be interpreted as a list of paths to +public key files to specify keys and certificates to be removed from the agent. +If no public key is found at a given path, +.Nm +will append +.Pa .pub +and retry. +.It Fl E Ar fingerprint_hash +Specifies the hash algorithm used when displaying key fingerprints. +Valid options are: +.Dq md5 +and +.Dq sha256 . +The default is +.Dq sha256 . +.It Fl e Ar pkcs11 +Remove keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library +.Ar pkcs11 . +.It Fl k +When loading keys into or deleting keys from the agent, process plain private +keys only and skip certificates. +.It Fl L +Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented +by the agent. +.It Fl l +Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent. +.It Fl q +Be quiet after a successful operation. +.It Fl s Ar pkcs11 +Add keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library +.Ar pkcs11 . +.It Fl t Ar life +Set a maximum lifetime when adding identities to an agent. +The lifetime may be specified in seconds or in a time format +specified in +.Xr sshd_config 5 . +.It Fl X +Unlock the agent. +.It Fl x +Lock the agent with a password. +.El +.Sh ENVIRONMENT +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Ev "DISPLAY" and "SSH_ASKPASS" +If +.Nm +needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current +terminal if it was run from a terminal. +If +.Nm +does not have a terminal associated with it but +.Ev DISPLAY +and +.Ev SSH_ASKPASS +are set, it will execute the program specified by +.Ev SSH_ASKPASS +(by default +.Dq ssh-askpass ) +and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. +This is particularly useful when calling +.Nm +from a +.Pa .xsession +or related script. +(Note that on some machines it +may be necessary to redirect the input from +.Pa /dev/null +to make this work.) +.It Ev SSH_AUTH_SOCK +Identifies the path of a +.Ux Ns -domain +socket used to communicate with the agent. +.El +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width Ds +.It Pa ~/.ssh/id_dsa +Contains the DSA authentication identity of the user. +.It Pa ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa +Contains the ECDSA authentication identity of the user. +.It Pa ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 +Contains the Ed25519 authentication identity of the user. +.It Pa ~/.ssh/id_rsa +Contains the RSA authentication identity of the user. +.El +.Pp +Identity files should not be readable by anyone but the user. +Note that +.Nm +ignores identity files if they are accessible by others. +.Sh EXIT STATUS +Exit status is 0 on success, 1 if the specified command fails, +and 2 if +.Nm +is unable to contact the authentication agent. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr ssh 1 , +.Xr

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. |
