> We have an environment with multiple karaf instances deployed, all authenticating SSH connections using the username/password mechanism from a LDAP server. Repeatedly logging into these servers requires copy-pasting passwords from the keychain, which ... well, can lead to leaks and is also annoying after a while. At the same time hosts are is easier with SSH keys, which we also store in LDAP.
> I have created a LDAP public-key authentication module to karaf following the file-based PubkeyLoginModule, and I want to contribute it to karaf. Github PR to follow.
> To use it one has to use the same JAAS module settings as for {{LDAPLoginModule}}, but with class {{LDAPPubkeyLoginModule}} and an added configuration option {{user.pubkey.attribute}}. Any attribute can be used to store the public key(s), such as the {{publicKey}} attribute from {{objectClass: extensibleObject}}. You'll find complete examples in tests.
