Specify the name of the OpenSSH key-pair that acts as certificate authority
and will be used to verify user certificates.
You can use it by adding the OpenSSH key-pair under the PKI subsystem.
Example:
.. code-block:: none
# Generate key-pair acting as CA
$ ssh-keygen -f vyos-ssh-ca.key
# Generate key for user: vyos_testca
$ ssh-keygen -f vyos_testca -C "vyos_tesca@vyos.net"
# Sign public key from user vyos_testca and insert principal names: vyos, vyos_testca
# with a key lifetime of two weeks - after which the key is unusable
$ ssh-keygen -s vyos-ssh-ca.key -I vyos_testca@vyos.net -n vyos,vyos_testca -V +2w vyos_testca.pub
$ set system login user vyos_testca
$ set pki openssh test_ca public key AAAAB3N.....
$ set pki openssh test_ca public type ssh-rsa
$ set service ssh trusted-user-ca test_ca
You can now log into the system using: ``ssh -i vyos_testca vyos_testca@vyos.test.com``
Specify the name of the CA certificate that will be used to verify the user
certificates.
You can use it by adding the CA certificate with the PKI command.
