NAME


ssh-add — adds private key identities to the authentication agent

SYNOPSIS


ssh-add [-cDdkLlXx] [-E fingerprint_hash] [-t life] [file ...]
ssh-add -s pkcs11
ssh-add -e pkcs11

DESCRIPTION


ssh-add adds private key identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1). When run
without arguments, it adds the files ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa,
~/.ssh/id_ed25519 and ~/.ssh/identity. After loading a private key, ssh-add will try to
load corresponding certificate information from the filename obtained by appending -cert.pub
to the name of the private key file. Alternative file names can be given on the command
line.

If any file requires a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The
passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add retries the last passphrase if multiple
identity files are given.

The authentication agent must be running and the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable must
contain the name of its socket for ssh-add to work.

The options are as follows:

-c Indicates that added identities should be subject to confirmation before being used
for authentication. Confirmation is performed by ssh-askpass(1). Successful
confirmation is signaled by a zero exit status from ssh-askpass(1), rather than text
entered into the requester.

-D Deletes all identities from the agent.

-d Instead of adding identities, removes identities from the agent. If ssh-add has
been run without arguments, the keys for the default identities and their
corresponding certificates will be removed. Otherwise, the argument list will be
interpreted as a list of paths to public key files to specify keys and certificates
to be removed from the agent. If no public key is found at a given path, ssh-add
will append .pub and retry.

-E fingerprint_hash
Specifies the hash algorithm used when displaying key fingerprints. Valid options
are: “md5” and “sha256”. The default is “sha256”.

-e pkcs11
Remove keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11.

-k When loading keys into or deleting keys from the agent, process plain private keys
only and skip certificates.

-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.

-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.

-s pkcs11
Add keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11.

-t life
Set a maximum lifetime when adding identities to an agent. The lifetime may be
specified in seconds or in a time format specified in sshd_config(5).

-X Unlock the agent.

-x Lock the agent with a password.

ENVIRONMENT


DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal
if it was run from a terminal. If ssh-add does not have a terminal associated with
it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by
SSH_ASKPASS (by default “ssh-askpass”) and open an X11 window to read the
passphrase. This is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a .xsession or
related script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to redirect the
input from /dev/null to make this work.)

SSH_AUTH_SOCK
Identifies the path of a UNIX-domain socket used to communicate with the agent.
