An extension for the Armor package that provides functionality for management of public SSH keys.
Install via Composer with:
composer require apex/armor-sshkeys
One library is included, the Apex\Armor\SshKeys\KeyManager class that contains the following methods:
- array generate(string $uuid, ?string $password = null, bool $save_privkey = false) - Generates a new 4096 bit RSA key, and encodes it to public SSH key. Returns array with two elements, "pubkey" and "privkey".
- void import(string $uuid, string $public_key)
- array getPublic(string $uuid) - Returns array of all public SSH keys assigned to uuid.
- ?string getPrivate(string $uuid, string $password) = Should be avoided, as you shouldn't be storing private keys.
- bool delete(string $uuid, string $public_key)
- int deleteUuid(string $uuid) - Returns number of keys deleted
use Apex\Armor\Armor;
use Apex\Armor\SshKeys\KeyManager;
// Init Armor
$armor = new Armor();
$manager = new KeyManager($armor);
// Generate
$res = $manager->generate('u:511');
echo "Pvi Key: $res[privkey]\n";
echo "Pub Key: $res[pubkey]\n";If you have any questions, issues or feedback, please feel free to drop a note on the ApexPl Reddit sub for a prompt and helpful response.
