And while we are at it, make 'ssh-authorized-keys' verb properly documented. Given that OpenSSH documents the interface in its man page it's fine to just document our implementation of it too.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>userdbctl</command> may be used to inspect user and groups (as well as group memberships)
|
|
of the system. This client utility inquires user/group information provided by various system services,
|
|
both operating on JSON user/group records (as defined by the <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/USER_RECORD">JSON User Records</ulink> and <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/GROUP_RECORD">JSON Group Records</ulink> definitions), and classic UNIX NSS/glibc
|
|
user and group records. This tool is primarily a client to the <ulink
|
|
url="https://systemd.io/USER_GROUP_API">User/Group Record Lookup API via Varlink</ulink>, and may also
|
|
pick up drop-in JSON user and group records from <filename>/etc/userdb/</filename>,
|

<filename>/run/userdb/</filename>, <filename>/run/host/userdb/</filename>,
|

<filename>/usr/lib/userdb/</filename>.</para>

and multiplexes user/group look-ups to all other running lookup services. This is the primary entry point

for user/group record clients, as it simplifies client side implementation substantially since they

<command>userdbctl</command> uses this service preferably, too, unless <option>--with-nss=</option>

<title>Integration with SSH</title>

<para>The <command>userdbctl</command> tool may be used to make the list of SSH authorized keys possibly

contained in a user record available to the SSH daemon for authentication. For that configure the

following in <citerefentry

project='die-net'><refentrytitle>sshd_config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>:</para>

|
<para>Sometimes it's useful to allow chain invocation of another program to list SSH authorized keys. By

using the <option>--chain</option> such a tool may be chain executed by <command>userdbctl

ssh-authorized-keys</command> once a lookup completes (regardless if an SSH key was found or

not). Example:</para>

AuthorizedKeysCommand /usr/bin/userdbctl ssh-authorized-keys %u --chain /usr/bin/othertool %u
|

AuthorizedKeysCommandUser root

…</programlisting>

<command>/usr/bin/othertool</command> to also be queried.</para>
