4NAME
5 ssh-add - adds RSA identities for the authentication agent
6
7SYNOPSIS
8 ssh-add [-lLdD] [file ...]
9
10DESCRIPTION
11 ssh-add adds RSA identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1).
12 When run without arguments, it adds the file $HOME/.ssh/identity. Alter-
13 native file names can be given on the command line. If any file requires
14 a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The
15 Passphrase it is read from the user's tty.
16
17 The authentication agent must be running and must be an ancestor of the
18 current process for ssh-add to work.
19
20 The options are as follows:
21
22 -l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the
23 agent.
24
25 -L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently repre-
26 sented by the agent.
27
28 -d Instead of adding the identity, removes the identity from the
29 agent.
30
31 -D Deletes all identities from the agent.
32
33FILES
34 $HOME/.ssh/identity
35 Contains the RSA authentication identity of the user. This file
36 should not be readable by anyone but the user. Note that ssh-add
37 ignores this file if it is accessible by others. It is possible
38 to specify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase
39 will be used to encrypt the private part of this file. This is
40 the default file added by ssh-add when no other files have been
41 specified.
42
43ENVIRONMENT
44 DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
45 If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from
46 the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh-add
47 does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and
48 SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by
49 SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This
50 is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a .Xsession or
51 related script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary
52 to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)

57 OpenSSH is a derivative of the original (free) ssh 1.2.12 release, but
58 with bugs removed and newer features re-added. Rapidly after the 1.2.12
59 release, newer versions bore successively more restrictive licenses.
60 This version of OpenSSH
61
62 o has all components of a restrictive nature (i.e., patents) directly
63 removed from the source code; any licensed or patented components are
64
65
66 chosen from external libraries.
67
68 o has been updated to support ssh protocol 1.5.
69
70 o contains added support for kerberos(8) authentication and ticket
71 passing.
72
73 o supports one-time password authentication with skey(1).
