How to use smartcards with OpenSSH?
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH contains experimental support for authentication using
|
|
Cyberflex smartcards and TODOS card readers. To enable this you
|
|
need to:
|
|
|
|
(1) install sectok
|
|
|
|
$ cd /usr/src/lib/libsectok
|
|
$ make obj depend all install includes
|
|
$ cd /usr/src/usr.bin/sectok
|
|
$ make obj depend all install
|
|
|
|
(2) enable SMARTCARD support in OpenSSH:
|
|
|
|
$ vi /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh/Makefile.inc
|
|
and uncomment
|
|
CFLAGS+= -DSMARTCARD
|
|
LDADD+= -lsectok
|
|
|
|
(3) load the Java Cardlet to the Cyberflex card:
|
|
|
|
$ sectok
|
|
sectok> login -d
|
|
sectok> jload /usr/libdata/ssh/Ssh.bin
|
|
sectok> quit
|
|
|
|
(4) load a RSA key to the card:
|
|
|
|
please don't use your production RSA keys, since
|
|
with the current version of sectok/ssh-keygen
|
|
the private key file is still readable
|
|
|
|
$ ssh-keygen -f /path/to/rsakey -U 1
|
|
(where 1 is the reader number, you can also try 0)
|
|
|
|
In spite of the name, this does not generate a key.
|
|
It just loads an already existing key on to the card.
|
|
|
|
(5) optional:
|
|
|
|
Change the card password so that only you can
|
|
read the private key:
|
|
|
|
$ sectok
|
|
sectok> login -d
|
|
sectok> setpass
|
|
sectok> quit
|
|
|
|
This prevents reading the key but not use of the
|
|
key by the card applet.
|
|
|
|
Do not forget the passphrase. There is no way to
|
|
recover if you do.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT WARNING: If you attempt to login with the
|
|
wrong passphrase three times in a row, you will
|
|
destroy your card.
|
|
|
|
(6) tell the ssh client to use the card reader:
|
|
|
|
$ ssh -I 1 otherhost
|
|
|
|
(7) or tell the agent (don't forget to restart) to use the smartcard:
|
|
|
|
$ ssh-add -s 1
|
|
|
|
