Manage ssh client and server.
The module uses exported resources to manage ssh keys and removes ssh keys that are not managed by puppet. This behavior is managed by the parameters ssh_key_ensure and purge_keys.
This module may be used with a simple include ::ssh

===
A value of 'USE_DEFAULTS'
will use the defaults specified by the module.
Boolean to merges all found instances of ssh::keys in Hiera. This is useful for specifying SSH keys at different levels of the hierarchy and having them all included in the catalog.
This will default to 'true' in future versions.
- Default: false
HashKnownHosts in ssh_config. Indicates that ssh should hash host names and addresses when they are added to ~/.ssh/known_hosts. These hashed names may be used normally by ssh and sshd, but they do not reveal identifying information should the file's contents be disclosed. The default is 'no' on Linux.
Note that existing names and addresses in known hosts files will not be converted automatically, but may be manually hashed using ssh-keygen. Use of this option may break facilities such as tab-completion that rely on being able to read unhashed host names from ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
A value of 'unset' will not add this parameter to the configuration file.
- Default: 'USE_DEFAULTS'
Path to ssh_config.
- Default: '/etc/ssh/ssh_config'
ssh_config's owner.

- Default: 'INFO'
MaxAuthTries option in sshd_config. Specifies the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per connection. Once the number of failures reaches half this value, additional failures are logged.
- Default: '6'
sshd_config's mode. The default is '0600' on Linux and '0644' on Solaris.
- Default: 'USE_DEFAULTS'
String or Array to specify address(es) for which sshd will bind. Corresponds to ListenAddress in sshd_config.
- Default: undef
PermitEmptyPasswords option in sshd_config. When password authentication is allowed, it specifies whether the server allows login to accounts with empty password strings. Valid values are 'yes' and 'no'.
- Default: undef
PermitUserEnvironment option in sshd_config. Specifies whether ~/.ssh/environment and environment= options in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys are processed by sshd(8). The default is “no”. Enabling environment processing may enable users to bypass access restrictions in some configurations using mechanisms such as LD_PRELOAD. Valid values are 'yes' and 'no'.
- Default: undef
Compression option in sshd_config. Specifies whether compression is allowed in an SSH connection prior to authentication. If specified, valid values are 'yes', 'no' and 'delayed'.

- Default: 'yes'
Fully qualified path to command for AuthorizedKeysCommand in sshd_config.
- Default: undef
String of user for AuthorizedKeysCommandUser in sshd_config.
- Default: undef

- Default: 'yes'
X11UseLocalhost in sshd_config. Specifies if sshd should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to the wildcard address.
- Default: 'yes'
UsePam in sshd_config. Enables the Pluggable Authentication Module interface. If set to 'yes' this will enable PAM authentication using ChallengeResponseAuthentication and PasswordAuthentication in addition to PAM account and session module processing for all authentication types. This module sets this option to 'yes' on Linux and undef on Solaris.
- Default: 'USE_DEFAULTS'
String to enable or disable UseRoaming in client configuration ssh_config. Valid values are 'yes', 'no' and 'unset'. Using 'unset' will not use (print) this configuration parameter at all. Default is set to 'no' on Linux and 'unset' on Solaris. If you have OpenSSH >= version 5.4, this should be set to 'no' to mitigate CVE-2016-0777 and CVE-2016-0778.
- Default: 'USE_DEFAULTS'
ClientAliveInterval in sshd_config. Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received from the client, sshd(8) will send a message through the encrypted channel to request a response from the client. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to the client. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
- Default: '0'
ClientAliveCountMax in sshd_config. Sets the number of client alive messages (see below) which may be sent without sshd(8) receiving any messages back from the client. If this threshold is reached while client alive messages are being sent, sshd will disconnect the client, terminating the session. It is important to note that the use of client alive messages is very different from TCPKeepAlive (below). The client alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel and therefore will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive option enabled by TCPKeepAlive is spoofable. The client alive mechanism is valuable when the client or server depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive. The default value is 3. If ClientAliveInterval (see below) is set to 15, and ClientAliveCountMax is left at the default, unresponsive SSH clients will be disconnected after approximately 45 seconds. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.
- Default: '3'
TCPKeepAlive in sshd_config. Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the other side. If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one of the machines will be properly noticed. However, this means that connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people find it annoying. On the other hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent, sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving ``ghost'' users and consuming server resources. A value of 'unset' will not add this parameter to the configuration file.
On Linux the default is set to ``yes'' (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the server will notice if the network goes down or the client host crashes. This avoids infinitely hanging sessions. On Solaris the default is to not add this parameter to the configuration file.
- Default: undef
UsePrivilegeSeparation in sshd_config. Causes the SSH process to drop root privileges when not needed. If specified, valid values are 'yes', 'no' and 'sandbox'.
- Default: undef
PermitTunnel in sshd_config. Specifies whether tun(4) device forwarding is allowed. The argument must be 'yes', 'point-to-point' (layer 3), 'ethernet' (layer 2), 'no', or 'unset' (parameter not used). Specifying 'yes' permits both 'point-to-point' and 'ethernet'. Independent of this setting, the permissions of the selected tun(4) device must allow access to the user. A value of 'unset' will not add this parameter to the configuration file.
On Linux the default is set to ``no''. On Solaris the default is to not add this parameter to the configuration file.
- Default: undef
Array of ciphers for the Ciphers setting in sshd_config.
- Default: undef
Array of key exchange algorithms for the KexAlgorithms setting in sshd_config.

This works by passing the ssh::keys hash to the ssh_authorized_keys type with create_resources(). Because of this, you may specify any valid parameter for ssh_authorized_key. See the Type Reference for a complete list.
Push authorized key "root_for_userX" and remove key "root_for_userY" through Hiera.
ssh::keys:
root_for_userX:
ensure: present
user: root
type: dsa
key: AAAA...==
apachehup:
