SSH_CONFIG(5)SSH_CONFIG(5)NAMEssh_config - OpenSSH SSH client configuration files
SYNOPSIS
~/.ssh/config
/opt/ssh/etc/ssh_config
DESCRIPTIONssh(1) obtains configuration data from the following sources in the
following order:
1. command-line options
2. user's configuration file (~/.ssh/config)
3. system-wide configuration file (/opt/ssh/etc/ssh_config)
For each parameter, the first obtained value will be used. The
configuration files contain sections separated by ``Host'' spec‐
ifications, and that section is only applied for hosts that
match one of the patterns given in the specification. The
matched host name is the one given on the command line.
Since the first obtained value for each parameter is used, more
host-specific declarations should be given near the beginning of
the file, and general defaults at the end.
The configuration file has the following format:
Empty lines and lines starting with `#' are comments. Otherwise
a line is of the format ``keyword arguments''. Configuration
options may be separated by whitespace or optional whitespace
and exactly one `=' ; the latter format is useful to avoid the
need to quote whitespace when specifying configuration options
using the ssh, scp, and sftp -o option. Arguments may option‐
ally be enclosed in double quotes (") in order to represent
arguments containing spaces.
The possible keywords and their meanings are as follows (note
that keywords are case-insensitive and arguments are case-sensi‐
tive):
Host Restricts the following declarations (up to the next Host key‐
word) to be only for those hosts that match one of the patterns
given after the keyword. A single `*' as a pattern can be used
to provide global defaults for all hosts. The host is the host‐
name argument given on the command line (i.e. the name is not
converted to a canonicalized host name before matching).
See PATTERNS for more information on patterns.
AddressFamily
Specifies which address family to use when connecting. Valid
arguments are ``any'', ``inet'' (use IPv4 only), or ``inet6''
(use IPv6 only).
BatchMode
If set to ``yes'', passphrase/password querying will be dis‐
abled. This option is useful in scripts and other batch jobs
where no user is present to supply the password. The argument
must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
BindAddress
Use the specified address on the local machine as the source
address of the connection. Only useful on systems with more
than one address. Note that this option does not work if
UsePrivilegedPort is set to ``yes''.
ChallengeResponseAuthentication
Specifies whether to use challenge-response authentication. The
argument to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default
is ``yes''.
CheckHostIP
If this flag is set to ``yes'', ssh(1) will additionally check
the host IP address in the known_hosts file. This allows ssh to
detect if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing. If the option
is set to ``no'', the check will not be executed. The default
is ``yes''.
Cipher Specifies the cipher to use for encrypting the session in proto‐
col version 1. Currently, ``blowfish'', ``3des'', and ``des''
are supported. des is only supported in the ssh(1) client for
interoperability with legacy protocol 1 implementations that do
not support the 3des cipher. Its use is strongly discouraged
due to cryptographic weaknesses. The default is ``3des''.
Ciphers
Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2 in order of
preference. Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated. The sup‐
ported ciphers are ``3des-cbc'', ``aes128-cbc'', ``aes192-cbc'',
``aes256-cbc'', ``aes128-ctr'', ``aes192-ctr'', ``aes256-ctr'',
``arcfour128'', ``arcfour256'', ``arcfour'', ``blowfish-cbc'',
and ``cast128-cbc''. The default is:
aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour128,
arcfour256,arcfour,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,aes128-ctr,
aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr
ClearAllForwardings
Specifies that all local, remote, and dynamic port forwardings
specified in the configuration files or on the command line be
cleared. This option is primarily useful when used from the
ssh(1) command line to clear port forwardings set in configura‐
tion files, and is automatically set by scp(1) and sftp(1). The
argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
Compression
Specifies whether to use compression. The argument must be
``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
CompressionLevel
Specifies the compression level to use if compression is
enabled. The argument must be an integer from 1 (fast) to 9
(slow, best). The default level is 6, which is good for most
applications. The meaning of the values is the same as in
gzip(1). Note that this option applies to protocol version 1
only.
ConnectionAttempts
Specifies the number of tries (one per second) to make before
exiting. The argument must be an integer. This may be useful
in scripts if the connection sometimes fails. The default is 1.
ConnectTimeout
Specifies the timeout (in seconds) used when connecting to the
SSH server, instead of using the default system TCP timeout.
This value is used only when the target is down or really
unreachable, not when it refuses the connection.
ControlMaster
Enables the sharing of multiple sessions over a single network
connection. When set to ``yes'', ssh(1) will listen for connec‐
tions on a control socket specified using the ControlPath argu‐
ment. Additional sessions can connect to this socket using the
same ControlPath with ControlMaster set to ``no'' (the default).
These sessions will try to reuse the master instance's network
connection rather than initiating new ones, but will fall back
to connecting normally if the control socket does not exist, or
is not listening.
Setting this to ``ask'' will cause ssh to listen for control
connections, but require confirmation using the SSH_ASKPASS pro‐
gram before they are accepted (see ssh-add(1) for details). If
the ControlPath cannot be opened, ssh will continue without con‐
necting to a master instance.
X11 and ssh-agent(1) forwarding is supported over these multi‐
plexed connections, however the display and agent forwarded will
be the one belonging to the master connection i.e. it is not
possible to forward multiple displays or agents.
Two additional options allow for opportunistic multiplexing: try
to use a master connection but fall back to creating a new one
if one does not already exist. These options are: ``auto'' and
``autoask''. The latter requires confirmation like the ``ask''
option.
ControlPath
Specify the path to the control socket used for connection shar‐
ing as described in the ControlMaster section above or the
string ``none'' to disable connection sharing. In the path,
`%l' will be substituted by the local host name, `%h' will be
substituted by the target host name, `%p' the port, and `%r' by
the remote login username. It is recommended that any Control‐
Path used for opportunistic connection sharing include at least
%h, %p, and %r. This ensures that shared connections are
uniquely identified.
DynamicForward
Specifies that a TCP port on the local machine be forwarded over
the secure channel, and the application protocol is then used to
determine where to connect to from the remote machine.
The argument must be [bind_address:]port. IPv6 addresses can be
specified by enclosing addresses in square brackets or by using
an alternative syntax: [bind_address/]port. By default, the
local port is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting.
However, an explicit bind_address may be used to bind the con‐
nection to a specific address. The bind_address of ``local‐
host'' indicates that the listening port be bound for local use
only, while an empty address or `*' indicates that the port
should be available from all interfaces.
Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and
ssh(1) will act as a SOCKS server. Multiple forwardings may be
specified, and additional forwardings can be given on the com‐
mand line. Privileged ports can be forwarded only when logging
in as root on the remote machine.
EnableSSHKeysign
Setting this option to ``yes'' in the global client configura‐
tion file /opt/ssh/etc/ssh_config enables the use of the helper
program ssh-keysign(8) during HostbasedAuthentication. The
argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
This option should be placed in the non-hostspecific section.
See ssh-keysign(8) for more information.
EscapeChar
Sets the escape character (default: `~' ) . The escape charac‐
ter can also be set on the command line. The argument should be
a single character, `^' followed by a letter, or ``none'' to
disable the escape character entirely (making the connection
transparent for binary data).
ExitOnForwardFailure
Specifies whether ssh(1) should terminate the connection if it
cannot set up all requested dynamic, local, and remote port for‐
wardings. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default
is ``no''.
ForwardAgent
Specifies whether the connection to the authentication agent (if
any) will be forwarded to the remote machine. The argument must
be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the
ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the
agent's Unix-domain socket) can access the local agent through
the forwarded connection. An attacker cannot obtain key mate‐
rial from the agent, however they can perform operations on the
keys that enable them to authenticate using the identities
loaded into the agent.
ForwardX11
Specifies whether X11 connections will be automatically redi‐
rected over the secure channel and DISPLAY set. The argument
must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the
ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the
user's X11 authorization database) can access the local X11 dis‐
play through the forwarded connection. An attacker may then be
able to perform activities such as keystroke monitoring if the
ForwardX11Trusted option is also enabled.
ForwardX11Trusted
If this option is set to ``yes'', remote X11 clients will have
full access to the original X11 display.
If this option is set to ``no'', remote X11 clients will be con‐
sidered untrusted and prevented from stealing or tampering with
data belonging to trusted X11 clients. Furthermore, the
xauth(1) token used for the session will be set to expire after
20 minutes. Remote clients will be refused access after this
time.
The default is ``no''.
See the X11 SECURITY extension specification for full details on
the restrictions imposed on untrusted clients.
GatewayPorts
Specifies whether remote hosts are allowed to connect to local
forwarded ports. By default, ssh(1) binds local port forward‐
ings to the loopback address. This prevents other remote hosts
from connecting to forwarded ports. GatewayPorts can be used to
specify that ssh should bind local port forwardings to the wild‐
card address, thus allowing remote hosts to connect to forwarded
ports. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is
``no''.
GlobalKnownHostsFile
Specifies a file to use for the global host key database instead
of /opt/ssh/etc/ssh_known_hosts.
GSSAPIAuthentication
Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is
allowed. The default is ``no''. Note that this option applies
to protocol version 2 only.
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials
Forward (delegate) credentials to the server. The default is
``no''. Note that this option applies to protocol version 2
only.
HashKnownHosts
Indicates that ssh(1) should hash host names and addresses when
they are added to ~/.ssh/known_hosts. These hashed names may be
used normally by ssh(1) and sshd(8), but they do not reveal
identifying information should the file's contents be disclosed.
The default is ``no''. Note that existing names and addresses
in known hosts files will not be converted automatically, but
may be manually hashed using ssh-keygen(1).
HostbasedAuthentication
Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with public
key authentication. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
The default is ``no''. This option applies to protocol version
2 only and is similar to RhostsRSAAuthentication.
HostKeyAlgorithms
Specifies the protocol version 2 host key algorithms that the
client wants to use in order of preference. The default for
this option is: ``ssh-rsa,ssh-dss''.
HostKeyAlias
Specifies an alias that should be used instead of the real host
name when looking up or saving the host key in the host key
database files. This option is useful for tunneling SSH connec‐
tions or for multiple servers running on a single host.
HostName
Specifies the real host name to log into. This can be used to
specify nicknames or abbreviations for hosts. The default is
the name given on the command line. Numeric IP addresses are
also permitted (both on the command line and in HostName speci‐
fications).
IdentitiesOnly
Specifies that ssh(1) should only use the authentication iden‐
tity files configured in the ssh_config files, even if ssh-
agent(1) offers more identities. The argument to this keyword
must be ``yes'' or ``no''. This option is intended for situa‐
tions where ssh-agent offers many different identities. The
default is ``no''.
IdentityFile
Specifies a file from which the user's RSA or DSA authentication
identity is read. The default is ~/.ssh/identity for protocol
version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa for protocol ver‐
sion 2. Additionally, any identities represented by the authen‐
tication agent will be used for authentication.
The file name may use the tilde syntax to refer to a user's home
directory or one of the following escape characters: `%d' (local
user's home directory), `%u' (local user name), `%l' (local host
name), `%h' (remote host name) or `%r' (remote user name).
It is possible to have multiple identity files specified in con‐
figuration files; all these identities will be tried in
sequence.
KbdInteractiveAuthentication
Specifies whether to use keyboard-interactive authentication.
The argument to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The
default is ``yes''.
KbdInteractiveDevices
Specifies the list of methods to use in keyboard-interactive
authentication. Multiple method names must be comma-separated.
The default is to use the server specified list. The methods
available vary depending on what the server supports. For an
OpenSSH server, it may be zero or more of: ``bsdauth'', ``pam'',
and ``skey''.
LocalCommand
Specifies a command to execute on the local machine after suc‐
cessfully connecting to the server. The command string extends
to the end of the line, and is executed with the user's shell.
This directive is ignored unless PermitLocalCommand has been
enabled.
LocalForward
Specifies that a TCP port on the local machine be forwarded over
the secure channel to the specified host and port from the
remote machine. The first argument must be [bind_address:]port
and the second argument must be host :hostport. IPv6 addresses
can be specified by enclosing addresses in square brackets or by
using an alternative syntax: [bind_address/]port and host/host‐
port. Multiple forwardings may be specified, and additional
forwardings can be given on the command line. Only the supe‐
ruser can forward privileged ports. By default, the local port
is bound in accordance with the GatewayPorts setting. However,
an explicit bind_address may be used to bind the connection to a
specific address. The bind_address of ``localhost'' indicates
that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an
empty address or `*' indicates that the port should be available
from all interfaces.
LogLevel
Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages
from ssh(1). The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR,
INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. The default
is INFO. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3
each specify higher levels of verbose output.
MACs Specifies the MAC (message authentication code) algorithms in
order of preference. The MAC algorithm is used in protocol ver‐
sion 2 for data integrity protection. Multiple algorithms must
be comma-separated. The default is: ``hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-
ripemd160,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96''.
NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost
This option can be used if the home directory is shared across
machines. In this case localhost will refer to a different
machine on each of the machines and the user will get many warn‐
ings about changed host keys. However, this option disables
host authentication for localhost. The argument to this keyword
must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is to check the host key
for localhost.
NumberOfPasswordPrompts
Specifies the number of password prompts before giving up. The
argument to this keyword must be an integer. The default is 3.
PasswordAuthentication
Specifies whether to use password authentication. The argument
to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is
``yes''.
PermitLocalCommand
Allow local command execution via the LocalCommand option or
using the ! Ns command escape sequence in ssh(1). The argument
must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''.
Port Specifies the port number to connect on the remote host. The
default is 22.
PreferredAuthentications
Specifies the order in which the client should try protocol 2
authentication methods. This allows a client to prefer one
method (e.g. keyboard-interactive) over another method (e.g.
password) The default for this option is: Do gssapi-with-mic ,
hostbased, publickey, keyboard-interactive, password Dc .
Protocol
Specifies the protocol versions ssh(1) should support in order
of preference. The possible values are `1' and `2'. Multiple
versions must be comma-separated. The default is ``2,1''. This
means that ssh tries version 2 and falls back to version 1 if
version 2 is not available.
ProxyCommand
Specifies the command to use to connect to the server. The com‐
mand string extends to the end of the line, and is executed with
the user's shell. In the command string, `%h' will be substi‐
tuted by the host name to connect and `%p' by the port. The
command can be basically anything, and should read from its
standard input and write to its standard output. It should
eventually connect an sshd(8) server running on some machine, or
execute sshd -i somewhere. Host key management will be done
using the HostName of the host being connected (defaulting to
the name typed by the user). Setting the command to ``none''
disables this option entirely. Note that CheckHostIP is not
available for connects with a proxy command.
This directive is useful in conjunction with nc(1) and its proxy
support. For example, the following directive would connect via
an HTTP proxy at 192.0.2.0:
ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -X connect -x 192.0.2.0:8080 %h %p
PubkeyAuthentication
Specifies whether to try public key authentication. The argu‐
ment to this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is
``yes''. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
RekeyLimit
Specifies the maximum amount of data that may be transmitted
before the session key is renegotiated. The argument is the
number of bytes, with an optional suffix of `K', `M', or `G' to
indicate Kilobytes, Megabytes, or Gigabytes, respectively. The
default is between `1G' and `4G', depending on the cipher. This
option applies to protocol version 2 only.
RemoteForward
Specifies that a TCP port on the remote machine be forwarded
over the secure channel to the specified host and port from the
local machine. The first argument must be [bind_address:]port
and the second argument must be host :hostport. IPv6 addresses
can be specified by enclosing addresses in square brackets or by
using an alternative syntax: [bind_address/]port and host/host‐
port. Multiple forwardings may be specified, and additional
forwardings can be given on the command line. Only the supe‐
ruser can forward privileged ports.
If the port argument is `0', the listen port will be dynamically allo‐
cated on the server and reported to the client at run time.
If the bind_address is not specified, the default is to only
bind to loopback addresses. If the bind_address is `*' or an
empty string, then the forwarding is requested to listen on all
interfaces. Specifying a remote bind_address will only succeed
if the server's GatewayPorts option is enabled (see sshd_con‐
fig(5)) .
RhostsRSAAuthentication
Specifies whether to try rhosts based authentication with RSA
host authentication. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''.
The default is ``no''. This option applies to protocol version
1 only and requires ssh(1) to be setuid to a privileged user.
RSAAuthentication
Specifies whether to try RSA authentication. The argument to
this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no''. RSA authentication will
only be attempted if the identity file exists, or an authentica‐
tion agent is running. The default is ``yes''. Note that this
option applies to protocol version 1 only.
SendEnv
Specifies what variables from the local environ(7) should be
sent to the server. Note that environment passing is only sup‐
ported for protocol 2. The server must also support it, and the
server must be configured to accept these environment variables.
Refer to AcceptEnv in sshd_config(5) for how to configure the
server. Variables are specified by name, which may contain
wildcard characters. Multiple environment variables may be sep‐
arated by whitespace or spread across multiple SendEnv direc‐
tives. The default is not to send any environment variables.
See PATTERNS for more information on patterns.
ServerAliveCountMax
Sets the number of server alive messages (see below) which may
be sent without ssh(1) receiving any messages back from the
server. If this threshold is reached while server alive mes‐
sages are being sent, ssh will disconnect from the server, ter‐
minating the session. It is important to note that the use of
server alive messages is very different from TCPKeepAlive
(below). The server alive messages are sent through the
encrypted channel and therefore will not be spoofable. The TCP
keepalive option enabled by TCPKeepAlive is spoofable. The
server alive mechanism is valuable when the client or server
depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive.
The default value is 3. If, for example, ServerAliveInterval
(see below) is set to 15 and ServerAliveCountMax is left at the
default, if the server becomes unresponsive, ssh will disconnect
after approximately 45 seconds. This option applies to protocol
version 2 only.
ServerAliveInterval
Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has
been received from the server, ssh(1) will send a message
through the encrypted channel to request a response from the
server. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will
not be sent to the server. This option applies to protocol ver‐
sion 2 only.
SmartcardDevice
Specifies which smartcard device to use. The argument to this
keyword is the device ssh(1) should use to communicate with a
smartcard used for storing the user's private RSA key. By
default, no device is specified and smartcard support is not
activated.
SockUMask
Set the umask value for the unix-domain socket created by ssh(1)
The default value 0077 will be used in case the option is not
specified.
StrictHostKeyChecking
If this flag is set to ``yes'', ssh(1) will never automatically
add host keys to the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, and refuses to
connect to hosts whose host key has changed. This provides max‐
imum protection against trojan horse attacks, though it can be
annoying when the /opt/ssh/etc/ssh_known_hosts file is poorly
maintained or when connections to new hosts are frequently made.
This option forces the user to manually add all new hosts. If
this flag is set to ``no'', ssh will automatically add new host
keys to the user known hosts files. If this flag is set to
``ask'', new host keys will be added to the user known host
files only after the user has confirmed that is what they really
want to do, and ssh will refuse to connect to hosts whose host
key has changed. The host keys of known hosts will be verified
automatically in all cases. The argument must be ``yes'',
``no'', or ``ask''. The default is ``ask''.
TCPKeepAlive
Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages
to the other side. If they are sent, death of the connection or
crash of one of the machines will be properly noticed. However,
this means that connections will die if the route is down tempo‐
rarily, and some people find it annoying.
The default is ``yes'' (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the
client will notice if the network goes down or the remote host
dies. This is important in scripts, and many users want it too.
To disable TCP keepalive messages, the value should be set to
``no''.
Tunnel Request tun(4) device forwarding between the client and the
server. The argument must be ``yes'', ``point-to-point'' (layer
3), ``ethernet'' (layer 2), or ``no''. Specifying ``yes''
requests the default tunnel mode, which is ``point-to-point''.
The default is ``no''.
TunnelDevice
Specifies the tun(4) devices to open on the client (local_tun)
and the server (remote_tun.)
The argument must be local_tun[:remote_tun.] The devices may be
specified by numerical ID or the keyword ``any'', which uses the
next available tunnel device. If remote_tun is not specified,
it defaults to ``any''. The default is ``any:any''.
UsePrivilegedPort
Specifies whether to use a privileged port for outgoing connec‐
tions. The argument must be ``yes'' or ``no''. The default is
``no''. If set to ``yes'', ssh(1) must be setuid to a privi‐
leged user. Note that this option must be set to ``yes'' for
RhostsRSAAuthentication with older servers.
User Specifies the user to log in as. This can be useful when a dif‐
ferent user name is used on different machines. This saves the
trouble of having to remember to give the user name on the com‐
mand line.
UserKnownHostsFile
Specifies a file to use for the user host key database instead
of ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
VerifyHostKeyDNS
Specifies whether to verify the remote key using DNS and SSHFP
resource records. If this option is set to ``yes'', the client
will implicitly trust keys that match a secure fingerprint from
DNS. Insecure fingerprints will be handled as if this option
was set to ``ask''. If this option is set to ``ask'', informa‐
tion on fingerprint match will be displayed, but the user will
still need to confirm new host keys according to the Stric‐
tHostKeyChecking option. The argument must be ``yes'', ``no'',
or ``ask''. The default is ``no''. Note that this option
applies to protocol version 2 only.
See also VERIFYING HOST KEYS in ssh(1).
VisualHostKey
If this flag is set to ``yes'', an ASCII art representation of
the remote host key fingerprint is printed in addition to the
hex fingerprint string at login and for unknown host keys. If
this flag is set to ``no'', no fingerprint strings are printed
at login and only the hex fingerprint string will be printed for
unknown host keys. The default is ``no''.
XAuthLocation
Specifies the full pathname of the xauth(1) program. The
default is /usr/bin/X11/xauth.
PATTERNS
A pattern consists of zero or more non-whitespace characters, `*' (a
wildcard that matches zero or more characters), or `?' (a wildcard that
matches exactly one character). For example, to specify a set of dec‐
larations for any host in the ``.co.uk'' set of domains, the following
pattern could be used:
Dl Host *.co.uk
The following pattern would match any host in the 192.168.0.[0-9] net‐
work range:
Dl Host 192.168.0.?
A pattern-list is a comma-separated list of patterns. Patterns within
pattern-lists may be negated by preceding them with an exclamation mark
(`!'.) For example, to allow a key to be used from anywhere within an
organisation except from the ``dialup'' pool, the following entry (in
authorized_keys) could be used:
Dl from="!*.dialup.example.com,*.example.com"
FILES
~/.ssh/config
This is the per-user configuration file. The format of this
file is described above. This file is used by the SSH client.
Because of the potential for abuse, this file must have strict
permissions: read/write for the user, and not accessible by oth‐
ers.
/opt/ssh/etc/ssh_config
Systemwide configuration file. This file provides defaults for
those values that are not specified in the user's configuration
file, and for those users who do not have a configuration file.
This file must be world-readable.
