ssh2_publickey_add — Add an authorized publickey

Description

bool ssh2_publickey_add ( resource $pkey , string $algoname , string $blob [, bool $overwrite = false [, array $attributes ]] )

Note: The public key subsystem is used for managing public keys on a server to which the client is already authenticated. To authenticate to a remote system using public key authentication, use the ssh2_auth_pubkey_file() function instead.

Parameters

pkey

Publickey Subsystem resource created by ssh2_publickey_init().

algoname

Publickey algorithm (e.g.): ssh-dss, ssh-rsa

blob

Publickey blob as raw binary data

overwrite

If the specified key already exists, should it be overwritten?

attributes

Associative array of attributes to assign to this public key. Refer to ietf-secsh-publickey-subsystem for a list of supported attributes. To mark an attribute as mandatory, precede its name with an asterisk. If the server is unable to support an attribute marked mandatory, it will abort the add process.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
