.TH ssh\-import\-id 1 "4 Feb 2013" ssh\-import "ssh\-import"
.SH NAME
\fBssh\-import\-id\fP \- retrieve one or more public keys from a public keyserver and append them to the current user's authorized_keys file (or some other specified file)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI "ssh\-import\-id [options] USER_ID_1 [gh:USER_ID_2] ... [lp:USER_ID_n]
.BI "ssh\-import\-id\-lp USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n]
.BI "ssh\-import\-id\-gh USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n]
.SH OPTIONS
\-h | \-\-help usage
\-o | \-\-output F write output to file 'F' (default ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, use "\-" for standard out)
\-r | \-\-remove remove keys from authorized keys file 'F'
\-u | \-\-useragent U append U to the user agent string
PROTO:USER_ID Protocol can be 'lp' for Launchpad.net, or 'gh' for Github.com
.SH DESCRIPTION
This utility will securely contact a public keyserver and retrieve one or more user's public keys, and append these to the current user's \fI~/.ssh/authorized_keys\fP file, standard output or any other specified output file.
User IDs can be prepended by a protocol:
- \fBlp:\fP to use \fIhttps://launchpad.net/~%s/+sshkeys\fP
- \fBgh:\fP to use \fIhttps://api.github.com/users/%s/keys\fP
If the protocol is not explicitly specified, then \fBssh-import-id\fP will read a URL variable string from \fI/etc/ssh/ssh_import_id\fP as installed by your package manager and configured by your system administrator. You can override this locally by exporting the string you want in a URL environment variable. If all of these are empty, then the protocol is assumed to be "lp:", which was the original target implementation of this tool.
Any keys added will be "labled" with a trailing comment, "# ssh-import-id PROTO:USER_ID". Revoking keys will first look for lines in the authorized keys file ending with that label.
