Connect using SSH certificates

Open dkocher opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

With ^1 resolved the documentation must be complemented with instructions how to connect using SSH certificates instead of SSH keys.

OpenSSH however also allows the use of SSH certificates to authenticate a server or a client, with the benefit of not requiring the prior storing of the key: an authority generates certificates that include the signature of the corresponding key, and the key used for the authentication of the server or client is trusted if the signature matches.
