Ok, I've installed openldap from the Ubuntu repo's and have installed phpldapadmin, but I cant see how to add a ssh key....
What am I missing?

Yes, ssh public key can be stored in OpenLDAP and then when a user attempts to login to a server using ssh + ldap authentication, the server will query ldap for the users private key and pair it up with the users public key.

I think here "User Information" will be fetched from ldap. Openssh will use library calls for getting ldap user information same as it do for users in /etc/passwd. Key based authentication will work in normal way but interested to see if key can be stored on ldap server.

Hi,
Yes, you would only need to install openssh server on the OpenLDAP server if you want your users to connect to this server via ssh.
Cheers!

At the moment this is still in the planning stage. It's all Ubuntu 10.04 LTS onwards.
Is it possible to do this without install openssh server on the OpenLDAP server?

Hi,
Your plan sounds accurate:
- Yes
- Yes
- If you want your users to connect to the OpenLDAP server via ssh,
then yes, you need to install ssh server on that box 4. Yes
What have you done so far? Which distro are you using?
Cheers!

Hi
I am looking at creating a SSH gateway using OpenLDAP. The idea is to store our devs public keys in OpenLdap, which would give us the ability to control who has SSH access to our servers.
Currently everyone shares the same key which means it is impossible to control access.
Do I just need to...
Install OpenLDAP Import the public keys into OpenLDAP Install OpenSSH Server on the OpenLDAP server and configure it to use LDAP. Configutre the remote servers to use the OpenLDAP servers to authenticate
The the devs can ssh from their computers through the OpenLDAP server to the remote servers.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
