Many deployments only support ssh via key based authentication. Cockpit should allow users to connect to remote machines via ssh using key based authentication.
Phillip J. Fry leads a small IT at a moderately sized firm. His company runs their applications on a few virtual machines in the public cloud. Password based authentication is not permitted. SSH access is granted to those machines by adding his public key to his account with the providers API.
Phillip:
- Connects to cockpit running on his local machine.
- Philip is able to connect to and add his cloud machines to his cockpit dashboard.
- Do we want to support logging into the system based on being able to unlock the users, private key? Similar to pam_ssh.
- In the past there was some discussion of being able to log into a machine other than localhost. Do we want work that in here.
