ssh-sk-helper
—
OpenSSH helper for FIDO authenticator support
ssh-sk-helper
is used by
ssh-agent(1)
to access keys provided by a FIDO authenticator.
ssh-sk-helper
is not intended to be
invoked by the user, but from
ssh-agent(1).
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-agent(1)
will automatically pass the -v
flag to
ssh-sk-helper
when it has itself been placed in
debug mode.
ssh-sk-helper
first appeared in OpenBSD
6.7.
