Overview

This class encapsulates all operations done by clients on a user’s private keys. In practice, the client should never need a reference to a private key; instead, they grab a list of “identities” (public keys) that are available from the KeyManager, and then use the KeyManager to do various private key operations using those identities.

The KeyManager also uses the Agent class to encapsulate the ssh-agent. Thus, from a client’s perspective it is completely hidden whether an identity comes from the ssh-agent or from a file on disk.

Constructor Details

#initialize(logger, options = {}) ⇒ KeyManager

Create a new KeyManager. By default, the manager will use the ssh-agent (if it is running).

#agent ⇒ Object

Returns an Agent instance to use for communicating with an SSH agent process. Returns nil if use of an SSH agent has been disabled, or if the agent is otherwise not available.

rescue AgentNotAvailable

  nil
end

#clear! ⇒ Object

Clear all knowledge of any loaded user keys. This also clears the list of default identity files that are to be loaded, thus making it appropriate to use if a client wishes to NOT use the default identity files.

end

#each_identity ⇒ Object

Iterates over all available identities (public keys) known to this manager. As it finds one, it will then yield it to the caller. The origin of the identities may be from files on disk or from an ssh-agent. Note that identities from an ssh-agent are always listed first in the array, with other identities coming after.

If key manager was created with :keys_only option, any identity from ssh-agent will be ignored unless it present in key_files or key_data.

end

#finish ⇒ Object

This is used as a hint to the KeyManager indicating that the agent connection is no longer needed. Any other open resources may be closed at this time.

Calling this does NOT indicate that the KeyManager will no longer be used. Identities may still be requested and operations done on loaded identities, in which case, the agent will be automatically reconnected. This method simply allows the client connection to be closed when it will not be used in the immediate future.

end

#sign(identity, data) ⇒ Object

Sign the given data, using the corresponding private key of the given identity. If the identity was originally obtained from an ssh-agent, then the ssh-agent will be used to sign the data, otherwise the private key for the identity will be loaded from disk (if it hasn’t been loaded already) and will then be used to sign the data.

Regardless of the identity’s origin or who does the signing, this will always return the signature in an SSH2-specified “signature blob” format.

Raises:

#use_agent=(use_agent) ⇒ Object

Toggles whether the ssh-agent will be used or not. If true, an attempt will be made to use the ssh-agent. If false, any existing connection to an agent is closed and the agent will not be used.
