Client keys: chk out Userify :) (shameless plug follows) You keep your private key private client-side. (use an agent or not). Userify deploys user/sudo/key to your project servers. </plug>
- akerl_ 12y agoMaybe I'm missing something, but under what scenario would I not be keeping my private key private and client-side? That being the whole point of it.
- jamiesonbecker 12y agoMost key "management" systems like to hold onto your private key for you and provision your connection for you. That's insane and defeats the whole point (as you point out)!! As far as server-side, automation keys are often 'server' side (where the server is itself a client). Userify can manage and deploy those keys as well, but it's not super easy (yet) -- currently, you still have to 'invite' a (fake) user, create a new user account (company_backup_account or whatever), and then choose all the servers that you want that public key deployed to. That part could definitely be easier.. and soon will be.
