ssh-add -s reader
ssh-add -e reader
DESCRIPTION
ssh-add adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent,
ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the files
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa and $HOME/.ssh/identity. Alterna-
tive file names can be given on the command line. If any file requires a
passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The
passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add retries the last
passphrase if multiple identity files are given.
The authentication agent must be running and must be an ancestor of the
current process for ssh-add to work.
The options are as follows:
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the
agent.
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently repre-
sented by the agent.
-d Instead of adding the identity, removes the identity from the
agent.
-D Deletes all identities from the agent.
-s reader
Add key in smartcard reader.
-e reader
Remove key in smartcard reader.
FILES
$HOME/.ssh/identity
Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity of
the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of
the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity of
the user.
Identity files should not be readable by anyone but the user. Note that
ssh-add ignores identity files if they are accessible by others.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
OpenSSH is a derivative of the original and free ssh 1.2.12 release by
Tatu Ylonen. Aaron Campbell, Bob Beck, Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo
de Raadt and Dug Song removed many bugs, re-added newer features and cre-
ated OpenSSH. Markus Friedl contributed the support for SSH protocol
versions 1.5 and 2.0.
