| I asked the OpenHPC community and got some great suggestions back. One involved using Kerberos without tickets and tying into Active Directoy. I quickly realized not all AD installations are publicly exposed. I'm providing Alan's comments below for future reference. | I asked the OpenHPC community and got some great suggestions back. One involved using Kerberos without tickets and tying into Active Directory. I quickly realized not all AD installations are publicly exposed. I'm providing Alan Sill's comments below for future reference. Another suggestion was to centrally manage SSH keys for password less login functionality, by Derek Simmel. |

| | ** SSH public key authentication** |
| | |
| | [need a way to collect key files, push them out, and manage passwd/shadow/group unique UID/GID so they do clash, like weshmeij, lafjsimms] |
| | |
| | In the ''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'' file, specify the path to user SSH public key files using a description like: |
| | |
| | * ''AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/%u'' |
| | |
| | For this example, the /etc, /etc/ssh, and /etc/ssh/authorized_keys are directories owned and only writable by root. |
| | |
| | <code> |
| | |
| | # ls -ld /etc /etc/ssh /etc/ssh/authorized_keys |
| | drwxr-xr-x. 135 root root 12288 Mar 23 16:59 /etc |
| | drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Nov 9 14:02 /etc/ssh |
| | drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 9 14:01 /etc/ssh/authorized_keys |
| | -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 29 11:01 /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/weshmeij |
| | |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | The sshd service interprets ''%u'' as the authenticated user's username on the system. So in this approach, every user has a file named after their username in the ''/etc/ssh/authorized_keys'' directory, root-owned. |
| | |
| | Use a secure, automated method to distribute the public key files to each login host's ''/etc/ssh/authorized_keys'' directory - having them on a shared mounted filesystem introduces other potential security and availability issues, and is therefore not recommended. |
