SSHConfiguration: New resource/s proposal
Resource proposal
Add in 1/many resources that configures SSH and other needed aspects of SSH Server and properties like allowed keys etc
Proposed properties
| Property | Type qualifier | Data type | Description | Default value | Allowed values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PropertyName | Key | String | Detailed description | None | None |
Special considerations or limitations
Not sure if there is an existing resource/s out there for this Needed for Server 2025 and below Should reduce all admin overhead Allow flexibility in how things like SSH Config is recommended in multiple scenarios
I will come and amend the properties in the coming days unless anyone else wants to chip in with them
Or do we create this as an SSHConfigurationDSC module instead hosted in the DSCCommunity Org
Thoughts on this?
There's an old DSC 1.1 resource for Linux
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/reference/resources/linux/lnxsshauthorizedkeysresource?view=dsc-1.1
Thinking about the future with DSC v3, we might want to consider doing this as a part of SSH to make it discoverable during the winget configure export flow we're working on over at winget-cli. I'd be curious about what @SteveL-MSFT thinks as well.
