=============
-Enabling SSH only requires you to add ``service ssh port NN``, where 'NN' is
-the port you want SSH to listen on. By default, SSH runs on port 22.

-Options
--------

-Key Authentication
-##################
+Key Based Authentication
+========================
It is highly recommended to use SSH Key authentication. By default there is
only one user (``vyos``), and you can assign any number of keys to that user.
You can generate a ssh key with the ``ssh-keygen`` command on your local
-machine, which will (by default) save it as ``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`` which is in
-three parts:
+machine, which will (by default) save it as ``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub``.
- ``ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAA...VByBD5lKwEWB username@host.example.com``
+Every SSH key comes in three parts:
-Only the type (``ssh-rsa``) and the key (``AAAB3N...``) are used. Note that
-the key will usually be several hundred characters long, and you will need to
-copy and paste it. Some terminal emulators may accidentally split this over
-several lines. Be attentive when you paste it that it only pastes as a single
-line. The third part is simply an identifier, and is for your own reference.
+``ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABAA...VBD5lKwEWB username@host.example.com``
+Only the type (``ssh-rsa``) and the key (``AAAB3N...``) are used. Note that the
+key will usually be several hundred characters long, and you will need to copy
+and paste it. Some terminal emulators may accidentally split this over several
+lines. Be attentive when you paste it that it only pastes as a single line.
+The third part is simply an identifier, and is for your own reference.
-**Assign SSH Key to user**
+.. cfgcmd:: set system login user '<username>' authentication public-keys '<identifier>' key '<key>'
-Under the user (in this example, ``vyos``), add the public key and the type.
-The `identifier` is simply a string that is relevant to you.
+Assign the SSH public key portion `<key>` identified by per-key `<identifier>`
+to the local user `<username>`.
-.. code-block:: none
+.. cfgcmd:: set system login user '<username>' authentication public-keys '<identifier>' type '<type>'
- set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'identifier' key "AAAAB3Nz...."
- set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'identifier' type ssh-rsa"
+Every SSH public key portion referenced by `<identifier>` requires the
+configuration of the `<type>` of public-key used. This type can be any of:
-You can assign multiple keys to the same user by changing the identifier. In
-the following example, both Unicron and xrobau will be able to SSH into VyOS
-as the ``vyos`` user using their own keys.
+* ``ecdsa-sha2-nistp256``
+* ``ecdsa-sha2-nistp384``
+* ``ecdsa-sha2-nistp521``
+* ``ssh-dss``
+* ``ssh-ed25519``
+* ``ssh-rsa``
-.. code-block:: none
+.. note:: You can assign multiple keys to the same user by using a unique
+ identifier per SSH key.
- set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'Unicron' key "AAAAB3Nz...."
- set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'Unicron' type ssh-rsa
- set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'xrobau' key "AAAAQ39x...."
- set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'xrobau' type ssh-rsa
+Example
+-------
+In the following example, both User1 and User2 will be able to SSH into VyOS
+as the ``vyos`` user using their own keys.
+.. code-block:: none
+ set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'User1' key "AAAAB3Nz...KwEW"
+ set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'User1' type ssh-rsa
+ set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'User2' key "AAAAQ39x...fbV3"
+ set system login user vyos authentication public-keys 'User2' type ssh-rsa
