SSH-SK-HELPER(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures SSH-SK-HELPER(8)

NAME

ssh-sk-helper - OpenSSH helper for FIDO authenticator support

SYNOPSIS

ssh-sk-helper [-v]

DESCRIPTION

ssh-sk-helper is used by ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) to
access keys provided by a FIDO authenticator.

ssh-sk-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.

A single option is supported:

-v Verbose mode. Causes ssh-sk-helper to print debugging messages
about its progress. This is helpful in debugging problems.
Multiple -v options increase the verbosity. The maximum is 3.

Note that ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) will
automatically pass the -v flag to ssh-sk-helper when they have
themselves been placed in debug mode.

SEE ALSO

ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1)

HISTORY

ssh-sk-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 6.7.
