Listing Available Private Keys

The SOCKS Proxy will search and use keys from the following locations:

• keys defined in the key-store element in the /etc/ssh2/ssh-socks-proxy-config.xml file
• keys defined in the key-store element in the $HOME/.ssh2/ssh-socks-proxy-config.xml file
• keys defined in the $HOME/.ssh2/identification file
• keys found in the $HOME/.ssh2 directory

To list the public-key pairs that are available for the SOCKS Proxy, give the following command:

> ssh-socks-proxy-ctl list-keys

The command prints a list of available private keys, showing basic key attributes such as key type, size and possible file name or key provider information. Also fingerprint and key identifier are displayed. The key identifier is a number that is used by other ssh-socks-proxy-ctl commands to identify the private key uniquely.

Running the command with the -s option produces a shorter output, for example (key hash value omitted):

> ssh-socks-proxy-ctl list-keys -s #2 ... ssh-dss /home/user1/.ssh2/id_dsa_1024_a dsa 1024 #1 ... ssh-rsa /home/user1/.ssh2/id_rsa_1536_a rsa 1536

The first number on the line is the key identifier.
