Class OpenSshConfigFile

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.jgit.internal.transport.ssh.OpenSshConfigFile
All Implemented Interfaces:
SshConfigStore
public class OpenSshConfigFile extends Object implements SshConfigStore
Fairly complete configuration parser for the openssh ~/.ssh/config file.

Both JSch 0.1.54 and Apache MINA sshd 2.1.0 have parsers for this, but both are buggy. Therefore we implement our own parser to read an openssh configuration file.

Limitations compared to the full openssh 7.5 parser:

  • This parser does not handle Match or Include keywords.
  • This parser does not do host name canonicalization.

Note that openssh's readconf.c is a validating parser; this parser does not validate entries.

This config does %-substitutions for the following tokens:

  • %% - single %
  • %C - short-hand for %l%h%p%r.
  • %d - home directory path
  • %h - remote host name
  • %L - local host name without domain
  • %l - FQDN of the local host
  • %n - host name as specified in lookup(String, int, String)
  • %p - port number; if not given in lookup(String, int, String) replaced only if set in the config
  • %r - remote user name; if not given in lookup(String, int, String) replaced only if set in the config
  • %u - local user name

%i is not handled; Java has no concept of a "user ID". %T is always replaced by NONE.

    • validate

      protected String validate(String key, String value)
      Hook to perform validation on a single value, or to sanitize it. If this throws an (unchecked) exception, parsing of the file is abandoned.
      Parameters:
      key - of the entry
      value - as read from the config file
      Returns:
      the validated and possibly sanitized value

    • validate

      protected List<String> validate(String key, List<String> value)
      Hook to perform validation on values, or to sanitize them. If this throws an (unchecked) exception, parsing of the file is abandoned.
      Parameters:
      key - of the entry
      value - list of arguments as read from the config file
      Returns:
      a List of values, possibly empty and possibly containing empty elements, but not containing null

    • positive

      public static int positive(String value)
      Converts a positive value into an int.
      Parameters:
      value - to convert
      Returns:
      the value, or -1 if it wasn't a positive integral value

    • flag

      public static boolean flag(String value)
      Converts a ssh config flag value (yes/true/on - no/false/off) into an boolean.
      Parameters:
      value - to convert
