ssh - retrieve public key from ssh-agent
I am searching for a way to extract the public key from the authentication agent.
I want to be able to write the public key out into a file, after i added the key to the ssh-agent (ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
).
ssh-add -l
displays the fingerprint for me, but is there a way to get the complete public key?
Thank you for your suggestions
man ssh-add
will show you all the options available. One of them is ssh-add -L
. As the man page says,
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently repre- sented by the agent.
In other words, it will print out the public key.
