How to use smartcards with OpenSSH?
OpenSSH contains experimental support for authentication using
Cyberflex smartcards and TODOS card readers. To enable this you
need to:
(1) enable SMARTCARD support in OpenSSH:
$ vi /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh/Makefile.inc
and uncomment
CFLAGS+= -DSMARTCARD
LDADD+= -lsectok
(2) If you have used a previous version of ssh with your card, you
must remove the old applet and keys.
$ sectok
sectok> login -d
sectok> junload Ssh.bin
sectok> delete 0012
sectok> delete sh
sectok> quit
(3) load the Java Cardlet to the Cyberflex card and set card passphrase:
$ sectok
sectok> login -d
sectok> jload /usr/libdata/ssh/Ssh.bin
sectok> setpass
Enter new AUT0 passphrase:
Re-enter passphrase:
sectok> quit
Do not forget the passphrase. There is no way to
recover if you do.
IMPORTANT WARNING: If you attempt to login with the
wrong passphrase three times in a row, you will
destroy your card.
(4) load a RSA key to the card:
$ ssh-keygen -f /path/to/rsakey -U 1
(where 1 is the reader number, you can also try 0)
In spite of the name, this does not generate a key.
It just loads an already existing key on to the card.
(5) tell the ssh client to use the card reader:
$ ssh -I 1 otherhost
(6) or tell the agent (don't forget to restart) to use the smartcard:
$ ssh-add -s 1
