Support ssh public key authentication and agent forwarding
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-1950
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1950
Project: Felix
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Karaf
Affects Versions: karaf-1.2.0
Reporter: Guillaume Nodet
The karaf agent needs to be enhanced to be able to set up an ssh agent and use
a public/private key.
The ssh server need to be configured with a public key authentication that
could delegate to the KeystoreInstance using certificates.
The goal would be support the following use cases:
* once a user is logged into a given karaf instance, he can connect to any
other instance (provided that the public key is supported)
* the stop script could use the ssh agent so that you don't need to launch it
with a password on the command line
A set of commands to administer the keystores might be interesting (maybe a
console plugin too, but we need to check with what Geronimo provides in this
area).
Btw, I wonder if Apache Shiro would help in any way for all the security stuff.
