#2356 [RFE] SSH user impersonation
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago Opened 12 years ago by jcholast.

Allow users to authenticate as different users using SSH public key authentication. Allow admins to manage who can impersonate who. This would be useful for special services which perform actions on a server on behalf of a user.


It's SSH bug, but: Is there any support in Kerberos? I think it's generally possible (I heard about somethink like ticket delegation.)

It can be more general/powerfull then SSH delegation. AFAIK it should be possible to delegate only one ticket to one service with limited lifetime or something like that. It can simplify enforcing time limitation and so on.

It is not a kerberos auth it is an SSH key auth in this case.
