Better SSH Authorized Keys Management

A seemingly common problem that people encounter is how to handle all of your users authorized_keys file.

People struggle over management, ensuring that users only have specific keys in the authorized_keys file or even a method for expiring keys. A centralized key management system could help provide all of this functionality with a little scripting.

One piece of functionality overlooked in OpenSSH is the AuthorizedKeysCommand configuration keyword. This configuration allows you to specify a command that will run during login to retrieve a users public key file from a remote source and perform validation just as if the authorized_keys file was local.

Here is an example directory structure for a set of users with SSH public keys that can be shared out via a web server:

michaelBenin

requirements_file = 'base.pip'

requirements = open(requirements_file, 'r')
content = requirements.read().splitlines()
content = list(set(content))
content.sort(key=lambda y: y.lower())
content = '\n'.join(content)

file = open('sorted_'+requirements_file, 'w')
file.write(content)

How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

First things first

Lets get some context first.

\	// the escape character - used to find an instance of a metacharacter like a period, brackets, etc.
.	// match any character except newline
x	// match any instance of x
^x	// match any character except x
[x]	// match any instance of x in the bracketed range - [abxyz] will match any instance of a, b, x, y, or z
|	// an OR operator - [x|y] will match an instance of x or y
