Introduction
EKCA is a system for issuing temporary OpenSSH certificates for users.
Basically users have to authenticate with user name, password and OTP. If authentication is sucessful a new key pair is generated and an OpenSSH certificate for the public key is signed by the CA. The new key pair gets loaded into the client-side SSH key agent.
Various password and OTP authentication mechanisms can be implemented with plugin modules. Out of the box the following modules are available:
- Password authentication via LDAP simple bind
