salt.states.ssh_known_hosts¶

Control of SSH known_hosts entries¶

Manage the information stored in the known_hosts files.

github.com:
  ssh_known_hosts:
    - present
    - user: root
    - fingerprint: 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48

example.com:
  ssh_known_hosts:
    - absent
    - user: root

salt.states.ssh_known_hosts.absent(name, user=None, config=None)¶

Verifies that the specified host is not known by the given user

name: The host name
user: The user who owns the ssh authorized keys file to modify
config: The location of the authorized keys file relative to the user's home directory, defaults to ".ssh/known_hosts". If no user is specified, defaults to "/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts". If present, must be an absolute path when a user is not specified.

salt.states.ssh_known_hosts.present(name, user=None, fingerprint=None, key=None, port=None, enc=None, config=None, hash_hostname=True)¶

Verifies that the specified host is known by the specified user

On many systems, specifically those running with openssh 4 or older, the enc option must be set, only openssh 5 and above can detect the key type.

name: The name of the remote host (e.g. "github.com")
user: The user who owns the ssh authorized keys file to modify
enc: Defines what type of key is being used, can be ed25519, ecdsa ssh-rsa or ssh-dss
fingerprint: The fingerprint of the key which must be presented in the known_hosts file
port: optional parameter, denoting the port of the remote host, which will be used in case, if the public key will be requested from it. By default the port 22 is used.
config: The location of the authorized keys file relative to the user's home directory, defaults to ".ssh/known_hosts". If no user is specified, defaults to "/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts". If present, must be an absolute path when a user is not specified.
hash_hostname : True: Hash all hostnames and addresses in the output.
