Resource Type: ssh_config

Defined in:

lib/puppet/type/ssh_config.rb

Providers:

augeas

Overview

Manages settings in an OpenSSH ssh_config file.

The resource name is used for the setting name, but if the ‘host` is given, then the name can be something else and the `key` given as the name of the setting.

Properties

• comment

  Text to be stored in a comment immediately above the entry. It will be automatically prepended with the name of the variable in order for the provider to know whether it controls the comment or not.

• ensure (defaults to: present)

  The basic property that the resource should be in.

  Supported values:

  • present
  • absent
• value

  Value to change the setting to. The follow parameters take an array of values:

  • MACs;

  • Ciphers;

  • SendEnv.

  All other parameters take a string. When passing an array to other parameters, only the first value in the array will be considered.

Parameters

• host

  Host condition for the entry.

• key

  Overrides setting name to prevent resource conflicts if ‘host` is given.

• name (namevar)

  The name of the setting, or a unique string if ‘host` given.

• provider

  The specific backend to use for this ‘ssh_config` resource. You will seldom need to specify this — Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.

• target

  The file in which to store the settings, defaults to ‘/etc/ssh/ssh_config`.
