~/.ssh/authorized_keys entry to allow the remote user to run a default firefox as user@server (all syslog entries go to LOG_LOCAL0)

no-agent-forwarding,no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,permitopen="127.0.0.1:*",command="/usr/local/bin/ssh-auth-cmd-marionette" ssh-rsa AAAA ... == user@server

~/.ssh/authorized_keys entry to allow the remote user to run a default firefox as user@server (all syslog entries go to LOG_LOCAL1)

no-agent-forwarding,no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,permitopen="127.0.0.1:*",command="/usr/local/bin/ssh-auth-cmd-marionette --facility=LOG_LOCAL1" ssh-rsa AAAA ... == user@server

~/.ssh/authorized_keys entry to force the remote user to run /path/to/firefox when logging in as user@server (all syslog entries go to LOG_LOCAL0)

no-agent-forwarding,no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,permitopen="127.0.0.1:*",command="/usr/local/bin/ssh-auth-cmd-marionette --force-binary=/path/to/firefox" ssh-rsa AAAA ... == user@server

~/.ssh/authorized_keys entry to allow the remote user to run /path/to/firefox or /path/to/waterfox when logging in as user@server (all syslog entries go to LOG_LOCAL0)

no-agent-forwarding,no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,permitopen="127.0.0.1:*",command="/usr/local/bin/ssh-auth-cmd-marionette --allow-binary=/path/to/firefox --allow-binary=/path/to/waterfox" ssh-rsa AAAA ... == user@server

DESCRIPTION

This program is intended to allow secure remote usage of the perl Firefox::Marionette library via ssh. It allows a list of pre-defined commands that can be permitted via ssh public key authentication.

Be default, it will log all commands that the remote perl library requests to run on this machine to the LOG_LOCAL0 syslog facility. If desired, syslog messages can be sent to a facility of your choosing, using the syslog(3) documentation for a list of allowed facilities and the --facility argument for this program.

An example .ssh/authorized_keys file using this program would look like this

no-agent-forwarding,no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,permitopen="127.0.0.1:*",command="/usr/local/bin/ssh-auth-cmd-marionette" ssh-rsa AAAA ... == user@server

By default, the only firefox version that may be used will be present in the PATH environment variable. However, the remote user may be permitted to specify the path to a different firefox binary with (multiple) --allow-binary parameters, or simply forced to use the firefox that the local user is setup for with the --force-binary parameter.

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

None

OPTIONS

Option names can be abbreviated to uniqueness and can be stated with singe or double dashes, and option values can be separated from the option name by a space or '=' (as with Getopt::Long). Option names are also case- sensitive.

  • --help - This page.

  • --version - print the version of ssh-auth-cmd-marionette.

  • --facility - use facility for syslog messages, instead of the default LOG_LOCAL0.

  • --allow-binary - allow this path to be used in calls to new. This option may be specified multiple times

  • --force-binary - regardless of the settings that new() requests, send all requests for the firefox binary to the path requested.
