SSH Key Certificates

Hello,

I'm using SSH keys in combination with certificates. The certificates are the result of a signing process by a ca certificate.
Normally the ssh-agent adds them automatically if they are named correctly.

An example:

key
key.pub
key-cert.pub`

$ ssh-add key

Enter passphrase for /home/max/.ssh/key:
Identity added: /home/max/.ssh/key (Server access)
Certificate added: /home/max/.ssh/key-cert.pub (certificate_max)

How do I add my certificates to 1Password? (One can have more than one certificate per key)

Kind regards,
Max

    Thanks for testing! This is not a use case that we have considered and we will need to give it some thought. In the meantime, it should be possible by specifying an IdentityFile in SSH config that specifies the public key. I believe this will still pick up the certificate, but I have not tested.

    https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/agent/advanced#match-key-with-host

    Are you able to try and let me know? Thanks!

    Same thing in our company. We use it company wide.
    I would love to have full support of this, if not I can use my ssh key as before as I don't see any benefit.

    What would 1Password's ideal role be in an SSH certificates workflow?

    That it works. I don’t know what has to be done.
    I have my private key, my public key and my certificate in my .ssh-folder.
    When I authenticate at a server the server recognizes the certificate and it works.

    With 1P I don’t know what should be done. Maybe I would need to be able to import the certificate as well?

    RFC6187 should be the one to look at if I am not mistaken.

    And setting up a test environment is easy. You need like three lines in your sshd_config, a signing key and that’s it. Sign your first key and you can test.
    Here is a tutorial:
    https://smallstep.com/docs/tutorials/ssh-certificate-login/#configure-sshd-to-accept-user-certs

    For this forum post only the user key-part (not the host-key part is required). And if AgileBits is using ssh, they should consider using it as well because it is the best way to handle ssh-keys in scale. You can set expiry dates on your keys, you can easily revoke and new members of teams can be given easily access without rolling out their public key everywhere. And if you have freelancers you have a user for them on the needed servers with the right principal, sign their key with an expiry date of the end of the project and the. They won’t be able to log in anymore when the key expired.

    Here is how Facebook (sorry Meta) is using it:

    If you already have the certificate locally, have you tried running the SSH command with -o CertificateFile /path/to/cert?

    I will try that later. Sorry, didn’t get any notification for this.

    I just tried it an di t doesn't work.

    That's what I see on the server, when I try to identify with the 1P-IdentityAgent and the CertificateFile-option:

    It does not work with "CertificateFile"

    This is what I see on the server when using 1Passwords Identity-Agent and the CertificateFile-option: https://pastebin.com/Lpx3R6kj

    And I tested the CertificateFile-option by copying my key to a bogus-name, removed all identities from the ssh-agent, setting the IdentityFile-option to the bogus-name and copying the cert-file to another bogus-name and setting the CertificateFile-option.

    So the option etc. works; but it doesn't work together with the IdentityAgent.
    Btw. when I do an ssh-add of the key, the certificate-file with the -cert.pub-name gets automatically added to the agent as well.

    Could you also share your (client-side) ssh -v output?

    @nielsk Thanks. I looked into this further and it's a different signing algorithm. E.g., ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com. This is something we would need to add support for.

    We have noted your request in our internal tracker. Thanks for the feedback!
