Documentation

Overview

Package sshagent connects to a running ssh-agent and serves an in-memory agent over a Unix socket, so keys from the vault can be used by ssh without ever being written to disk.

Index

Constants

View Source 
const EnvSocket = "SSH_AUTH_SOCK"

EnvSocket is the variable OpenSSH reads the agent socket from.

Variables

View Source 
var ErrNoAgent = errors.New("no ssh-agent: " + EnvSocket + " is not set (start one with 'eval $(ssh-agent)' or 'sslknife ssh agent serve')")

ErrNoAgent means SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not set.

Functions

func Listen 

func Listen(path string) (net.Listener, string, func(), error)

Listen creates the agent socket. With an empty path it makes a private temporary directory; the returned cleanup removes whatever Listen created. An existing socket nobody answers on is treated as stale and replaced.

func Serve 

func Serve(ctx context.Context, l net.Listener, a agent.Agent) error

Serve answers agent requests from a on l until ctx is done or l is closed.

Types

type Client 

type Client struct {
	agent.ExtendedAgent
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Client is a connection to an agent.

func Dial 

func Dial(socket string) (*Client, error)

Dial connects to the agent at socket, or at $SSH_AUTH_SOCK when empty.

func (*Client) Close 

func (c *Client) Close() error

Close closes the connection.
