Open-sourcing OpenPubkey SSH (OPKSSH): integrating single sign-on with SSH
blog.cloudflare.com
OPKSSH (OpenPubkey SSH) is now open-sourced as part of the OpenPubkey project. This enables users and organizations to configure SSH to work with single sign-on technologies like OpenID Connect, removing the need to manually manage & configure SSH keys without adding a trusted party other than your IdP.

My first exposure to this and supposedly just a two line change to the SSH server configuration.

Anyone set this up on their own servers yet? Just for kicks?

    I think the Google as an identity provider example is misleading. The more common use case will be medium to small companies where several admins/developers need to login to various servers and where manually adding and revoking keys across these servers will be cumbersome.

    As the other commenter said, in those cases, the organization would also deploy its own IDP.
