Qing,

I've inquired on the list before and couldn't come up with
any plans to incorporate any particular X.509 functionality
into the code for OpenSSH.

However, I'm aware of two patches for OpenSSH
for X.509:

http://satva.skalasoft.com/~rumen/openssh/
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Divisions/ACES/GSI/openssh/

I've had most luck with NCSA's GSI in standalone (without complete
grid security). They just came out with 1.8 and it seems fairly mature.
If you need additional doc let me know.

Subject: make x.509 certificate authentication work with ssh

Hello all,

I have ssh server on UNIX ---openssh 3.5p1 and ssh client on window or unix
with Secure CRT (commertial version) or F-Secure (commertial version) client
or openssh client. I can make public key authentication with user key work
but not public key authentication with x.509 certificate. I have already got
my CA, server and client certificate. I like to know what do I need to do on
both server and client side in order to make it work. What options I need to
set in configuration file? I found the help pages in openssh and SecureCRT,
F-Secure are really laking of information in this regard.

I apprecite any help from the group.

Thanks,
Qing
