Note that third-party CAs are treated like secret stores in the CLI, SDKs, and Terraform. As such, they use secret store commands, domain objects, and resources.Add Vault SSH CA in the CLI To add a Vault SSH CA in the CLI instead of the Admin UI, use the sdm admin secretstores create CLI command.

Contribute to ssh-vault/ssh-vault development by creating an account on GitHub. Follow the instructions below to modify your SSH server configuration, PAM configuration and vault-ssh-helper configuration. Check if vault-ssh-helper is installed and configured correctly and also is able to communicate with Vault server properly. Before verifying vault-ssh-helper, make sure that the Vault server is up and running and it has mounted the SSH backend. Issued by the CA must be signed by a role that is configured for the specific mount point of the CA. The signing role defines the default values for the SSH certificates as well as what extensions and features are allowed in the SSH certificates.Please ensure that your signing role in Vault matches the following example signing role, which includes the minimum required settings to work with certificate-based SSH resources.SSH example signing role { "algorithm_signer": "rsa-sha2-256", "allow_user_certificates": true, "allowed_users": "*", "allowed_extensions": "permit-X11-forwarding,permit-agent-forwarding,permit-port-forwarding,permit-pty,permit-user-rc", "default_extensions": { "permit-X11-forwarding": "", "permit-agent-forwarding": "", "permit-port-forwarding": "", "permit-pty": "", "permit-user-rc": "", }, "key_type": "ca", "default_user": "ubuntu", "max_ttl": "30m0s"}Add Vault CA in Admin UI To add a Vault SSH CA in the Admin UI, follow these steps.From the Settings > Credentials Management page in the Certificate Authorities tab, click Add certificate authority.Enter the Name for the CA (any name).For Type, select HashiCorp Vault SSH, HashiCorp Vault SSH (AppRole), or HashiCorp Vault SSH (Token).
