Guillaume Nodet commented on KARAF-32:
--------------------------------------
Why not checking the last modified date of the file and reload if needed when
the authentication is performed. I'd go even further and reload each time as
done with the JAAS realm. I don't really think it's a problem given karat is
not really meant to receive thousands of ssh connections.
> Support ssh public key authentication and agent forwarding

> The karaf agent needs to be enhanced to be able to set up an ssh agent and
> use a public/private key.
> The ssh server need to be configured with a public key authentication that
> could delegate to the KeystoreInstance using certificates.
> The goal would be support the following use cases:
> * once a user is logged into a given karaf instance, he can connect to any
> other instance (provided that the public key is supported)
> * the stop script could use the ssh agent so that you don't need to launch
> it with a password on the command line
> A set of commands to administer the keystores might be interesting (maybe a
> console plugin too, but we need to check with what Geronimo provides in this
> area).
> Btw, I wonder if Apache Shiro would help in any way for all the security
> stuff.
